Bottega Limoncino 21 50cl

Limoncello is a traditional Italian liquor made from infusing lemon peels into an alcoholic base with the addition of sugar. It dates back to the end of the nineteenth century.

Limoncino 21 Bottega is produced from an infusion of "Femminello" lemon peels. Femminello lemons have a fine-grained peel and high-quality essential oils. This variety of lemon is called "Femminello" because of the fertility of the plant, which flowers three times a year. It is very sensitive to the cold but quite resistant to high temperatures and provides constant production. Lemons are grown naturally, in particularly suitable areas, where the climate is hot and dry, with medium texture soil rich in gravel, sand and peat. They are harvested at peak ripeness, washed and peeled by hand removing the bitter white part and selecting only the yellow part, rich in essential oils.

The lemon peels are then infused in organic alcohol for nearly 30 days to gain colour and aromas. The liquid is then separated from peels, and sugar and grappa are added. Limoncino 21 Bottega is fresh and pleasant. Thanks to its moderate alcohol content, its taste and bouquet are more intense.
