Lucano Limoncetta di Sorrento 30% is a traditional Italian lemon liqueur from Campania, produced using the protected ‘Limoni di Sorrento I.G.P.’ lemons. At the heart of this liqueur is the Ovale di Sorrento lemon variety, whose characteristically oval fruits ripen under the sun of the Sorrento Peninsula. Their particularly aromatic peel is rich in essential oils and forms the basis for the intense citrus character of this limoncello from Sorrento. To produce it, the lemon peel is macerated in alcohol and then blended with water and sugar to create a well-balanced liqueur. Lucano Limoncetta di Sorrento is produced without any colourings or preservatives, combining a short list of ingredients with traditional production methods.

The origin of the lemons used is guaranteed by the Consortium for the Protection of the Sorrento Lemon PGI, which monitors both the origin and quality of the fruit as well as the traditional production chain. Typical regional methods are employed right from the cultivation stage, including the use of ‘pagliarelle’ – large straw mats that protect the lemon trees from adverse weather conditions. The alcoholic infusion of the aromatic peel results in a Limoncello made with Limoni di Sorrento I.G.P., which preserves the intense citrus freshness and the region’s distinctive character. With an alcohol content of 30 per cent and available in a 0.5-litre bottle, Limoncetta is a classic Italian speciality, perfect for enjoying chilled after a meal or as a versatile ingredient in summer drinks.
