Benvenuti Nocino is the expression of a centuries-old Emilian tradition that dictates that walnuts for nocino be harvested on the night of San Giovanni (June 24), when the fruit is not yet fully ripe. The Benvenuti Distillery keeps this ancient tradition alive, producing nocino according to recipes passed down from generation to generation. After being hand-harvested, the walnuts are quartered the same day and then infused in alcohol with a blend of spices including cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The uniqueness of the production process lies in the long maceration period, which can last up to a year, during which the liqueur develops its characteristic dark color and rich aromatic profile. After maceration, the liqueur is filtered and sweetened with a sugar syrup, also prepared according to the traditional recipe.
