Amaro Nonino is a digestif made by the Nonino company in Fruili, Italy.

It is made from grappa infused with herbs, plus grain alcohol, and ingredients that include caramelized sugar, bitter orange, cinchona, galenga, gentian, liquorice, quassia wood, rhubarb, saffron, sweet orange and tamarind,

The grappa, made by the same company, is made from a blend of Ribolla, Traminer and Verduzzo grapes. The roots and herbs come from Fruili district, from the area called "Carnia" which is a semi-mountainous region on the Austrian border.

Amaro Nonino is a reddish-amber colour and has a herby fragrance, with a mildly bitter spicy taste, with a touch of liquorice and sweet, burnt orange. The taste lasts in the mouth. It is aged in oak barrels for 5 years. Amaro Nonino is 35% alcohol.

Amaro Nonino is a bit less syrupy than some other Italian bitters.

It is best served straight up, slightly chilled, around 53 to 59 F (12 to 15 C.)
