Nonino Grappa is a grappa brand, manufactured by the famous Italian grappa producers - Nonino. The first Nonino distillery was founded by Orazio Nonino in Ronchi di Percoto, in the Friuli region in northeastern Italy.
In 1973, Nonino Grappa became the first grappa produced from a single grape variety by creating a liquor using only the Picolit grape.
Usually, Italian households serve grappa frozen, giving it an icy, crisp taste, while the Instituto Nazionale Grappa recommends serving young grappa at between 9 and 13 degrees Celsius, and riserva at around 17 degrees.
