A seasonal favorite. Green (young) walnuts are hand harvested in from Faccia Brutto's friends at Foraged and Found and delivered to overnight. They cut each nut in half and macerate with 8 other ingredients including citrus peel, allspice, vanilla, and cocoa nibs for 3 weeks in non-GMO neutral grain spirit.

They then strain and proof to 40% abv and barrel age for a minimum of 10 months to one year. During this time the flavors mellow and concentrate to reveal a very nuanced and balanced tincture. They strain out of the barrel, filter and sweeten with organic cane sugar. It’s bottled at 22% abv at around 40 cases a year.

This rendition of the classic nocino is a less spice-forward, more complex and less cloyingly sweet tipple. Imagine that maple syrup and vanilla extract had a baby… that’s their nocino! Utterly delicious!
