Amaro Bitter Orange Nonino Italy 70 cl 35%

Amaro Bitter Orange from Nonino is an elegant, smooth and aromatic bitter that perfectly demonstrates why the Nonino family is considered one of Italy’s most respected producers. This edition earned an impressive 96 points in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021, where it was also recommended, awarded the Chairman’s Trophy and placed among the Top 100 Spirits – a rare achievement for a bitter in this category.

The flavour is rounded, gently sweet‑bitter and beautifully harmonious. It combines a silky texture with a refined orange profile, where both fresh and candied orange peel meet warm spices and subtle herbal complexity. Aged for up to five years in oak barrels, it gains depth, softness and a natural warmth in the finish.

The colour is bright golden with a hint of copper, and the aroma offers orange, herbs and a mild sweetness that makes it both inviting and versatile. It is excellent as an aperitif served over ice with a slice of orange in a tumbler, and it also works as a refined alternative to classic bitters like Angostura in cocktails where a softer, more fruit‑driven profile is desired.

A bitter for those who appreciate finesse, Italian craftsmanship and a rounded, orange‑forward flavour experience. If you want to explore more options, you can browse our selection of aperitivo and bitter spirits.

About Nonino Amaro Bitter Orange

Amaro Bitter Orange Nonino is a soft, aromatic and orange-driven bitter from the Nonino family in Friuli, combining Italian craftsmanship with an elegant, rounded flavour profile. With 96 points and several top placings in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, it offers fresh and candied orange, warm spices and a light herbal character, rounded off by up to five years of oak ageing. Because Nonino is known for basing its products on genuine grape distillate rather than neutral spirit, this amaro is a natural choice for both cocktails and as an aperitif for anyone wanting to taste one of Italy's most respected spirits houses.

History & Background

Nonino is a family-owned distillery from Percoto in Friuli, northeastern Italy, founded in 1897 by Orazio Nonino as a grappa distillery. The family is now led by its fourth generation and is internationally known for inventing ÙE, the first grappa made from the whole grape rather than just the pomace. Amaro Nonino Quintessentia, of which this orange bitter is a variant, launched in 1992 and marked the family's entry into the amaro category, built on their own grape distillate instead of neutral spirit.

Production & Style

The amaro is infused with herbs, roots, and orange peel, giving it a citrus-fresh bitterness.
