Vicario Nocino Walnut Liqueur (75cl)

Vicario Nocino is a walnut liqueur made in the Modena tradition, where nocino is a symbol of hospitality. It is an infusion of unripe green walnuts from Italian orchards, made each June as custom prescribes. It is best sipped slowly at room temperature at the end of a meal, though it also works chilled, over ice or poured over vanilla ice cream. The liqueur is dark, inky brown with a savoury, herbaceous scent. A spicy burst opens the palate, leading to cola and an amaro-like bitterness, then a rounded, mouthwatering finish with vanilla, clove and allspice.
