Amaro Nonino Quintessentia di Erbe NV
ItalyBurnished seville orange, Scottish marmalade, rasped nutmeg glides along a smooth, warming, silken palate, roughened slightly by a grip of wood on the frame. Spearmint, worn tobacco season, while a light Dutch liquorice salt lingers on the warm finish. Each sniff / sip leads to something more to contemplate. This digestif pomace-based amaro is made in Fruili, and infused with a secretive blend of herbs, spices and roots, including gentian, saffron, licorice, rhubarb, sweet and bitter orange, tamarind, quassia bark, chinchona bark, and galenga. Nonino is a bit less sweet, less bitter, and lighter in texture than other amari. It is aged for five years in oak barrels.Tasted: 16 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $65.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
