Product Overview
Nonino Quintessentia Amaro Riserva is one of the more refined and sophisticated expressions from the Nonino family, known for their meticulous craftsmanship in producing herbal liqueurs and grappas. The Quintessentia Amaro Riserva is an elevated version of their standard amaro, aged and carefully crafted to offer a deeper, more complex flavor profile.
This liqueur is a blend of carefully selected herbs, roots, and spices, and is typically aged for a period in wooden casks, which imparts additional layers of flavor.
Nose: Herbal and Earthy: The first impression on the nose is one of deep herbal complexity, with layers of gentian root, artemisia, and a light touch of cinnamon or cloves. These are grounded in earthy, almost slightly medicinal tones, but in a refined and delicate way. Citrus and Sweetness: As the amaro opens, there's a fresh note of orange zest and lemon peel, balancing the darker herbal elements with a bright citrus lift. There’s also a slight sweetness underneath from licorice and anise.
