Witch Meadow Black 2023 is inspired by one of our favorite digestifs, Nocino. Nocino is a dark, bittersweet liqueur made from aromatic green walnuts (unripe black walnuts) and a producer-specific combination of spices. Its history is rich and complex with roots spreading across Europe and through millennia but its traditions endure most notably in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The idea struck us in the spring while looking up at our own local black walnut trees - we quickly set about developing a unique blend of spices/other ingredients to pair with green walnuts. We approached this project with a great deal of faith and excitement and we’re thrilled that it has met every bit of our expectations.
