ABOUT NONINO

The art of distillation has been a Nonino Family privilege since 1897. The Nonino Distilleries, unique in the world, consist of five artisanal distilleries, each with

12 exclusive batch steam stills for the production of the inimitable Nonino Distillates, respecting the tradition and the rhythms of true craftsmanship. For six generations, the Nonino name has been synonymous with uncompromising quality and pioneering innovation. The brand has single handedly changed the way the world sees grappa and created an amaro—and now an aperitivo—that are considered indispensable by bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts the world over. 

Today, sisters Cristina, Antonella and Elisabetta Nonino proudly continue their family’s legacy, walking in the footsteps of their grandmother Silvia—the first female distiller in Italy—and their mother Giannola—developer of the world’s first single varietal grappa. Using only the freshest natural ingredients, committing to artisanal production methods, and drawing on the wisdom in their blood, they continue to redefine the spirit landscape and set the standard for Italian craft distillation. In 2019, The Nonino Distillery was ranked the Best Distillery in the World 2019 by Wine Enthusiast.
