Craftsmanship
Limoncino Bottega is produced from an infusion of “Femminello” lemon peels, a variety prized for its thin-grained skin and aromatic richness. Grown naturally in Sicily’s warm, dry climate, the lemons are hand-harvested at peak ripeness. Each is carefully peeled to remove only the golden outer zest, leaving behind the bitter white pith. The peels are infused in alcohol for 30 days, gently extracting their essential oils, aroma and colour. The infusion is then blended with sugar and fine Italian grappa, creating a smooth, balanced and unmistakable liqueur.
Special Features
A timeless recipe dating back to the late 19th century, Bottega Limoncino is made with natural, untreated lemons and a commitment to Italian tradition. Its elegant presentation bottle and sun-bright flavour make it a luxurious addition to any drinks cabinet.
