Review Date: 04/2014Tawny and bright in the glass, this mellow, bittersweet beauty offers caramel and vanilla, braced by allspice and bitter orange. Although Nonino is best known for its grappas, this amaro, flavored with herbs from the mountains of Friuli, is worth seeking out. Consider it for dessert pairings or an edgy spin on a negroni. (KN)

From Distillatori Nonino in Italy's Friuli. This amaro is a grape distillate infused with herbs and aged in barrique. The Quinessentia Amaro Nonino shows fragrant mountain herbs. It's delicious as an aperitivo served with a slice of orange or on its own as a digestivo. If you’re a whiskey drinker looking to try Nonino Amaro in a cocktail, here's a fun option: The Amaro Nonino Manhattan: 2 oz. rye or bourbon; 3/4 oz. Amaro Nonino; 2 dashes of bitters; Stir well and strain into a cocktail glass with or without ice. Add a cherry!
