ÙE® l’Acquavite d’Uva

Uvabianca®

It is obtained distilling separately white grapes of Monovitigno® Moscato, Malvasia and Ribolla. @ Fragrant, crystalline and slightly aromatic.

I Vigneti Monovitigno® are differentiated from the Cru Monovitigno® by the fact that pomace comes from a single grape variety which is linked to more dedicated production zones and by the non hand-made bottling technique. The Uvabianca Grape Spirit combines within it the elegance of wine distillate and the character of the Grappa. ÙE / Grapes in the language of Friuli.

27th November 1984: Benito and Giannola Nonino created the Grape Spirit ÙE® by distilling the skin, pulp and grape juice in a single operation. Ministerial Authorization for the production of Grape Spirit (D.M. 20.10.84) was granted following a specific request by the Noninos. The success of this distillate over the years has been such that it has persuaded Italian and foreign distillers to follow the Nonino model.
