IWSC Trophies are given to the most reputable companies that operate in the industry, from spirits to liqueurs, from design to packaging. They award the companies’ effort and dedication and represent a stamp of recognition for products that are absolutely perfect. The International Wine & Spirit Competition, for more than 50 years, has been judging spirits not only based on the organoleptic factors, but also on the chemical analysis results of each product, tested individually. Each year labels from over 90 countries participate in this contest, and its awards are considered among the highest and most coveted in the spirits industry.
This important recognition confirms Nardini’s reputation and the excellence of a very successful product, the result of more than two centuries of tradition and innovation in the art of distillation.
The Nardini portfolio of products is available in the UK from Emporia.
