This isn’t your average liqueur—it’s a tradition, a story, and an experience that’ll knock your socks off. The secret? The green walnuts, hand-harvested every year on June 24th, San Giovanni’s Day. Legend has it that only the walnuts picked on this day have the magic, and the Amodeo family has been following this ancient tradition for generations. The result? A semi-sweet, rich, and complex liqueur that bursts with flavors of green walnuts, baking spices, vanilla, and ripe berries. It’s smooth, it’s bold, and it lingers with a finish that’ll make you wonder why you’re not drinking this every day.

The Don Ciccio & Figli journey starts in 1852 on the Amalfi Coast, where Vincenzo Amodeo (aka ‘N’gioletto’) first started crafting liqueurs that would become the pride of Italy. From bitter Amaro to sweet Limoncello, Vincenzo and his family created drinks that made the Mediterranean sing. But after a brutal war and a devastating earthquake, it seemed like the Amodeo legacy was done for.

Fast forward to 1951 when Francesco "Don Ciccio" Amodeo, Vincenzo’s grandson, decided to revive the family’s liqueurs in the hills of Furore. And just when you thought the story couldn’t get any more epic, a massive earthquake in 1980 tried to take it all down again. But the Amodeos aren’t the type to quit, and in 2012, they made their grand comeback in the U.S.

Now, every bottle of Don Ciccio & Figli is a symbol of resilience, passion, and a true Italian legacy. This Nocino? It’s the perfect mix of tradition and innovation, with every sip telling a story of rebirth. Whether you sip it straight, over ice, or in your next cocktail, this liqueur is sure to make you feel like you’re sipping on centuries of history.

Deep brown in the glass, this walnut liqueur offers a pleasing dark chocolate scent and fleeting sweetness on the palate, perked up by a lightly spicy, tingly exit that suggests ancho chile. Ideal to add spice and mild sweetness to whiskey or brandy drinks. ~92 Wine Enthusiast
