Limoncino di Sorrento

Limoncello di Sorrento Bottega is produced from lemons grown on the Sorrento peninsula and the island of Capri, where they ripen in a mild, typically Mediterranean breeze. To ensure that the fruit ripens in stages and is protected against bad weather, the plants are grown in the shape of pots and are placed under wooden or metal scaffolding, which is seasonally covered. The lemons are harvested from 1 January to 31 October, the period in which it reaches its maximum expression of the organoleptic characteristics that distinguish it, namely the presence of fragrant peels rich in essential oils. The lemons for the production of limoncello are selected and peeled, removing the white part of the peel as it is bitter and selecting only the yellow part which is rich in essential oils. This Limoncello thus captures all the aroma of Sorrento lemons in a fresh liqueur ideal also for creative mixology.
