Nonino Il Merlot Monovitigno Grappa

Nonino Il Merlot is a single-variety grappa made from Merlot grapes at the family's distillery in Friuli, in the north of Italy. It belongs to the Monovitigno range, which Giannola and Benito Nonino began producing on 1 December 1973 as one of the first grappas made from a single grape. This one is not aged in cask. It is a masculine style of grappa, and it suits dark chocolate, espresso and light meats, or can be enjoyed on its own after a meal. Serve it chilled in a tulip-shaped glass.
