Grappa • Tradizione
Friulana alla Ruta
Distillers in Friuli since 1897
Fresh primary products, distilled in batch steam stills.
Ancient Symbol of Alcohol in the Middle Ages
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 Grappa Monovitigno®
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.

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.
