Il Nocino

Nocino is much more than a walnut alcoholic drink.

It is a distinctive Italian liqueur made with unripe walnuts that are still soft in their green husks: the many recipes used to prepare it are handed down from generation to generation.

The walnut, still green, is left to macerate in alcohol for 4 months, then the syrup, which in some regions is made with white wine and in others with water, is added to the liqueur and left to rest for a further two months.

It’s spicy, sweet but slightly bitter, and delicious.

With its strong and aromatic taste, it will be a pleasure to enjoy it after an generous dinner thanks to its digestive power!

The best way to serve it is neat, at 16-18 °, as a digestive at the end of a meal.
