Description

Limoncello is the flagship product of the company, made exclusively using certified fruits from the Consorzio di Tutela del Limone di Sorrento IGP. The liqueur, an emblem of Sorrento's gastronomic tradition, is born from the infusion of “Limone di Sorrento IGP” peels rich in essential oils in alcohol. The freshly picked lemon from the tree releases all its aromas, giving the finished product that tangy smell, which is sour, sweet, and intense at the same time, making it unique and unmistakable. The “Limone di Sorrento IGP” liqueur is distinguished by the use of a very high quantity of “Limone di Sorrento IGP” (approximately 350g/l) belonging to the cultivar Ovale di Sorrento variety, cultivated exclusively on the Sorrento Peninsula, in compliance with the strict technical specifications overseen by the MIPAF.
