Description
Benvenuti Nocino Liqueur 700ml is an Italian walnut liqueur made in the traditional nocino style from green, unripe walnuts. Following custom, the walnuts are picked around 24 June, the night of San Giovanni, while still soft and before their shells form, then macerated for about nine months with spices.

Pour it neat in a small glass after dinner, or over ice. It goes well with biscotti, aged cheeses, dark chocolate or vanilla ice cream, and adds a nutty depth to a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
- Green walnut liqueur from Italy
- Walnuts traditionally picked on San Giovanni night, 24 June
- Bottled at 34% ABV
Expect intense walnut aromas with warm cinnamon and clove, a hint of balsamic and a woody, bark-like note. The palate is rich and rounded, with macerated walnut, spice and toasted sweetness in good balance.
Nocino is closely linked with Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy, where it has long been made at home each summer from the new season’s green walnuts.
A good bottle for liqueur and amaro fans, or anyone who enjoys nutty, spiced flavours at the end of a meal.
