A family recipe refined across generations - Silvio Carta Limonello Ricetta Originale carries Sardinia's finest lemons from tree to bottle with respect for tradition.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Silvio Carta Limonello Ricetta Originale is an Italian lemon liqueur from Sardinia, made from Sfusato Amalfitano lemon peels, bottled at 28% ABV.

Silvio Carta was founded in the early 1950s in Baratili San Pietro on Sardinia by Silvio Carta himself, and today the company is run by his son Elio Carta, who has led it since 1972. The company's own distillery was built in 1982, and the name Limonello was chosen to mark Silvio Carta's own take on the classic lemon liqueur. The lemons are hand-picked, and the peel is infused in neutral spirit from sugar beet molasses within 24 hours of harvest.

Smag

The liqueur has a full-bodied, fresh citrus flavour with a rounded sweetness that keeps the tartness in check. The aroma and taste clearly carry the character of fresh, sun-ripened lemon peel from Sardinia.
