Grappa Nonino Seminar, 10/12/10; Bartender Authority was there!!.

Tasting Grappa's Nonino.


Chiara Nonino, Francesco Lafranconi, Nacho De Notta-Bartender Authority.

Here is Chiara Nonino doing a great job explaining the Family's Grappa!!

Final pic with Chiara Nonino (4 from right)


Today I went to a Seminar from Grappa Nonino and the hostess was....Chiara Nonino!!

Here are some notes:

They do an artisan destillation from fresh pommace, they have 66 copper batches, and 5 destillers.
The steps are: Pommace, Fermentation, Destillation, and aging in lemousin oak. The italian law for grappa says that it have to be done from pommace at 70 proof, and can be aged for 6 month to be called "aged" or for 12 month to be called "riserva".

I tried these: *Grappa monovitigno Merlot
* UE Decennale
*Grappa Monovitigno Cru Picolit
*Grappa Monovitigno Moscato
*Grappa Monovitigno Chardannay
And * Quintessentia Amaro. This one is made from 40 herbs at 70 proof.

If you want to get more info please visit their website at: http://www.nonino.it/

Salud, hope you enjoy.

For the Gin the botanicals pass throught a basket at the third time. They are produced in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. They use a 90 gallon copper pot still. The grains are from Washington Island and they are organic hard red winter wheat. The use of the word whisky is because they rest the spirit on wood for 2/3 days!!!, according the law.
