Nonino Quintessentia Amaro Liqueur

In the glass

A grappa-based Italian amaro from the Nonino family in Percoto, Udine, bottled at 35 percent alcohol. The herb and root infusion gives it bitter orange, warm spice and a smooth brandy backbone rather than heavy sweetness. Pour it over ice with an orange twist after dinner, or use it in a Paper Plane. The 750ml bottle with its scalloped label looks good on any back bar.
