A refined and elegant Italian amaro from the renowned Nonino distillery in Friuli, crafted using a unique base of aged grape distillate rather than neutral spirit. Quintessentia represents a modern interpretation of traditional amaro, combining artisanal heritage with exceptional balance and finesse.
Produced through the infusion of a selection of botanicals, herbs, roots, and spices, this amaro is blended with Nonino’s signature ÙE® grape distillate and aged in small oak barrels. This process gives the liqueur a remarkable depth, smoothness, and complexity, setting it apart from more bitter, traditional styles.
The nose is aromatic and inviting, with notes of orange peel, dried herbs, and gentle spice, layered with hints of honey and caramel.
On the palate, it is smooth and beautifully balanced, offering flavours of candied citrus, warm spices, and subtle herbal bitterness, supported by a soft, rounded sweetness.
The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of orange zest, spice, and delicate bitterness.
