On 1st December, 1973 Giannola e Benito Nonino create single vine grappa, Monovitigno® Picolit revolutionizing the way of producing and introducing grappa in Italy and all over the World. On 27th November 1984 the Noninos marked a new turning point. They distilled the whole grape and created the Grape Distillate ÙE®. The Ministerial Authorization for the production of the grape distillate (D.M. 20.10.84) is granted following the specific request by the Noninos. In homage to their land they have called it ÙE which means grape in the language of Friuli. On 1st December 1984 to highlight the preciousness of this new distillate, the Noninos asked Venini, the Master Glassmaker in Murano, to hand-blow a bottle with an image of a bunch of grapes contained within the glass. Thus began the precious Nonino Collection ÙE® Grape Distillate Cru Monovitigno® Picolit which every years year is stored in specially dated, hand-blown bottles by Venini, Baccarat and Riedel.
