Nocino

Description

There is something magical about this liqueur. People from our valleys make it with green walnut husks; according to ancient traditions, the husks should be picked the night before the feast of San Giovanni (June 24^th), when they are still covered in dew (which was believed to have healing properties). The result of such process is a dark liqueur (it owes its colour to the high amount of tannins contained in the husks), with a scent that reminds that of fresh walnuts.
It is a classic digestive beverage, usually served with desserts or coffee after a meal.
This liquor that we have selected for you was made in the craft shop “Il Bicchierino” in Soragna (PR).
