[Sca-cooks] Nocino, period cordial or not?

[Christiane]

Hi everyone, I have a question from someone off the SCA-Italiano list about if there is a period recipe for nocino, the Tuscan cordial made from green walnuts that are picked on St. John's Day and steeped in alcohol, sugar, and spices for 43 days.

As far as I can tell, I don't even know if nocino was made or consumed within period. I poked around on the Florilegium a bit, but didn't turn up anything except the 12 Precious Waters recipes and the ones submitted by Aoife. Any ideas of where else I can look?
