Process & Profile
Don Ciccio & Figli Nocino is a handcrafted walnut liqueur made in the traditional Italian style, inspired by a 1930s family recipe. Produced in small batches in Washington, D.C., this rich and aromatic spirit is crafted by steeping fresh green walnuts in a blend of spices, herbs, and neutral spirit before aging and sweetening to balance.
