Nonino L’Aperitivo Botanical Drink

When sisters Cristina, Antonella and Elisabetta Nonino decided to create an exciting new spirit they didn’t have to look far for inspiration: their grandmother Silvia Milocco invented it decades ago! The first woman in Italy to produce grappa, Silvia also created the original L’Aperitivo Nonino Botanical Drink, originally called Nonino Bianco. Back then, L’Aperitivo Nonino Botanical was only available in the distillery, but thanks to the determination of Silvia’s granddaughters this unique drink is now available for all to enjoy.

L’Aperitivo Nonino Botanical Drink is crafted from 100% natural ingredients, contains no artificial flavors or colors, and is vegan friendly. Following in their grandmother’s footsteps, the Nonino sisters infuse distillate with botanicals grown on and around their family estate in Friuli, in the northeast of Italy. The 18 botanicals, including gentian root, rhubarb, lemons, limes, and oranges are dried at a low temperature to preserve the natural intensity of their fragrances, colors, and tastes.

Tasting Notes

Citrous freshness with floral, fruity and balsamic notes. Slightly bitter.

Food Pairing

Fresh and lively aperitif. Ideal in purity on the rocks, with ice and a twist of lime, or as a light drink, with 4 cl. of L’Aperitivo Nonino, 4 cl. of sparkling wine, ice and lemon peel. Excellent also as a cocktail ingredient.
