Italian dinners often conclude with this final beverage course, starring a subset of bitter herbal liqueurs known as amari. These flavorful q...

Among Italian liqueurs we can find Nocino that is obtained from walnut husks placed in infusion. It is a distillation procedure customary of many European countries that gives a drink with an intense walnut flavour, but which in Italy has a much more remote tradition. From the ancient Romans we have learnt that the British population of the Picts u...
