The Artisanal Distillation Process
The distillation of Nonino Chardonnay Grappa is a process of great precision and mastery, conducted in a discontinuous manner. This traditional method involves the cutting of heads and tails, using copper steam stills. This approach ensures that the aromatic qualities of the Chardonnay grape are preserved and enhanced. The slow and controlled distillation allows volatile components to evaporate and condense optimally, maintaining the distinctive and complex aromas that characterize this grappa.
After distillation, the grappa undergoes natural aging for over 12 months in barriques. This process imparts a light amber hue to the grappa and enriches its aromatic profile with notes of bread, vanilla, and pastry. The complete absence of colorants ensures that the grappa retains its purity and authenticity.
Bottling and Presentation
Nonino Chardonnay Grappa is bottled at an alcohol content of 41% vol. in elegant transparent glass bottles. Each stage of the bottling process is meticulously executed to reflect the excellence and quality of the product. The refined presentation makes this grappa ideal not only for personal enjoyment but also as a prestigious gift.
Tasting Recommendations
To fully appreciate the aromatic nuances of Nonino Chardonnay Grappa, it is recommended to serve it at room temperature in wide balloon glasses. This enhances its finesse and the elegance of its aromas, offering a unique sensory experience. On the palate, the grappa presents notes of chocolate and freshly shelled almonds, providing a refined and memorable tasting experience.
