Nonino Collection
To highlight the preciousness of this new distillate, the Noninos ask Venini, the Master Glassmaker in Murano, to hand-blow a bottle with an image of a bunch of grapes contained within the glass. Thus began the precious Nonino Collection Ùe® Grape Distillate Cru Monovitigno® Picolit which every year is stored in specially dated, hand-blown bottles by Venini, Baccarat and Riedel.
The Grape Distillate Ministerial Authorisation
The Ministerial Authorization for the production of the Grape Distillate (D.M. 20.10.84) is granted following a specific request by the Noninos, who had to fight against all sorts of bureaucratic and category obstacles.

“The vast Nonino cocktail library is (…) a perfect example of how a company so rooted in a tradition of purity can maintain its identity while experimenting with its products.” Wallpaper*, July 2015
Through uncounted decades, grappa was little more than a cheap, portable form of central heating for peasants in northern Italy. Fancier Italians, and most foreigners, disdained it. But that was before the Noninos of Percoto came to prominence

the Noninos create the first ever Single varietal grappa, the Monovitigno® Nonino
In Percoto the new age of Grappa begins. Benito and Giannola, respecting the tradition, revolutionize the way of producing and introducing Grappa in Italy and throughout the world. They create the single varietal Grappa, Monovitigno® Nonino, distilling the pomace of Picolit grapes separately.

Nonino method
I should say at once that making money has never been our primary motivation, even in an age when profit appears to be the universal measure of success. Our overriding goal is constant improvement as we strive relentlessly after quality and innovate to make the best grappa in the world, in full respect of the territory and its culture: a grappa so fragrant with the aromas of its grape that it seduces even the most discriminating consumers.
