Originally launched in December 2019, Pietro Nicola Nocino is the inaugural bottling from our range of Aperitivi & Digestivo that takes cues from the roots of our founder but is predominantly inspired by the drinking culture of Italy. Produced annually in vintages, our 2022 bottling was made available to the public on Tuesday 18th October.

Though walnut liqueurs are known across the world – as Brou de Noix (France), NutZino (New Zealand), and Nucata (Romania) – Nocino (pronounced no-CHEEN-oh) is most commonly associated with and consumed in Italy as a digestif. It is believed to have origins in the northern and eastern parts of the Kingdom of Alba (now Scotland), with the earliest records linked to the Pictish people who consumed it as a restorative tonic, for its perceived medicinal qualities, and as a digestive aid.

An aromatic, spiced and bittersweet Walnut Liqueur, our 2022 Vintage was produced using unripe Green Walnuts from Potash Farm in England which were macerated in alcohol for no less than forty days, before being seasoned with natural Coffee Beans, Star Anise Pods, Cloves and Demerara Sugar.
