Pallini Limoncello Italian Liqueur 50 cl 26%

From the sun-ripened lemon trees of the Amalfi Coast to Rome - a family tradition that has lasted since 1875.

Expert description

Pallini Limoncello is an Italian Fruit liqueur based on Sfusato Amalfitano lemons from the Amalfi Coast, bottled at 26%.

The Pallini family has been making super-premium liqueurs since 1875, when Nicola Pallini founded the first shop and distillery in Antrodoco. After the First World War, his son Virgilio Sr. moved the business to Rome, close to the Pantheon, where it still stands today. The Limoncello is made from Sfusato Amalfitano, an elongated lemon variety from the Amalfi Coast with a thick, aromatic peel that ripens for up to 12 months and is so sweet it's locally nicknamed the "bread lemon", because it can be eaten like a piece of fruit. Harvesting, peeling and extraction all happen within 24 hours to preserve the lemons' freshness, after which the extract is transported to the distillery in Rome and blended with Italian beet sugar and additional lemon oil.

Taste

The nose is intense and fresh with lemon peel. On the palate, Pallini Limoncello is sweet and creamy with a clear, clean lemon flavour, while the finish is refreshing with a fine acidity that keeps the sweetness in balance.
