Nocino Abruzzese - Premium Our tradition has it that the malli for the nocino must be odd and are harvested on the night of San Giovanni between 23 and 24 June. From maceration in alcohol, a brown-colored liqueur is born, with a good tannic body, intense and persistent hints and aromas of walnut. Better served straight, served at 16-18, as a digestive at the end of meals.
