Pallini Limoncello is Italy’s iconic lemon liqueur, crafted by the Pallini family in Rome since 1875. Made with handpicked Sfusato lemons from the Amalfi Coast, this naturally cloudy liqueur captures the essence of sun-ripened citrus. Refreshing, vibrant, and authentic, it’s a luxurious digestivo and a versatile gift that brings the taste of the Italian coast to every occasion.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Cloudy pale gold with a vivid citrus glow, Pallini bursts with the perfume of freshly zested Amalfi lemons. The palate is rich and full yet beautifully balanced, layering tangy lemon oils, gentle sweetness, and a whisper of spice. The finish is clean, long, and refreshing—never cloying—leaving the palate enlivened and ready for another sip.

Craftsmanship & Story
Pallini has been producing fine liqueurs since 1875, but its limoncello is rooted in the Casella family recipe, preserved and perfected for generations. The prized Sfusato Amalfitano lemons, known for their thick oil-rich peels, are hand-harvested without pesticides and infused immediately in neutral spirit to preserve freshness. With no artificial colour or flavour, Pallini is a true expression of Italian heritage and artisanal craft.
Special Features
Made exclusively with Amalfi Coast Sfusato lemons, Pallini showcases the louche effect—its natural cloudy appearance from essential oils. Balanced between zesty citrus and delicate sweetness, it avoids the artificial “candy” profile of commercial versions. Certified GMO-free, gluten-free, and kosher, this limoncello is both authentic and versatile, designed to be enjoyed neat, over ice, or in refreshing cocktails.
Best Serve & Cocktails
Traditionally stored in the freezer, Pallini develops a luscious, velvety texture when poured ice-cold into small frozen glasses. Sip it slowly after meals as a classic Italian digestivo, serve with dessert, or after coffee. For a modern twist, try a Limoncello Martini for citrus elegance, an Amalfi Mule with ginger beer for spicy refreshment, or a Pallini Spritz—Italy’s coastal aperitivo in a glass.
