ÙE® l’Acquavite d’Uva

La Malvasia


From Malvasia grapes. Fresh, crystalline, slightly aromatic.

I Vigneti Monovitigno® are differentiated from the Cru Monovitigno® by the fact that pomace comes from a single grape variety which is linked to more dedicated production zones and by the non hand-made bottling technique. The Grape Spirit combines within it the elegance of wine distillate and the character of the Grappa. ÙE / Grapes in the language of Friuli.

27th November 1984: Benito and Giannola Nonino created the Grape SpiritÙE® by distilling the skin, pulp and grape juice in a single operation. Ministerial Authorization for the production of Grape Distillate (D.M. 20.10.84) was granted following a specific request by the Noninos. The success of this distillate over the years has been such that it has persuaded Italian and foreign distillers to follow the Nonino model.

Primary Product


Selection of Malvasia grapes, harvested fresh, perfectly ripe to keep intact the fragrances and flavors of the vine variety of origin.

Production strictly dependent on the individual year’s harvest.

Fermentation


Under vacuum in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperature, immediately
followed by distillation in order to avoid harmful secondary fermentations.

Rest


From six months to a year in stainless steel tanks.

100% Distilled with artisanal method


Batch method with the removal of the heads and the tails in special artisanal batch steam stills created by Benito Nonino for the distillation of grapes. The distillation happens very slowly to allow the volatile components, responsible for the perfumes, a proper evaporation period and subsequent condensation, in order to keep intact the precious organoleptic characteristics of the chosen vines varieties.

Fresh, crystalline, slightly aromatic. It reminds apricot and pear.
It should be served at about 12° in an iced open tulip shaped glass. Before tasting, ÙE® l’Acquavite d’Uva should rest in the glass for some minutes: taking oxygen the fragrances are exalted and the nose-palate harmony is completed.
