About Silvio Carta Limoncello

Silvio Carta was founded by the man of the same name in the 1950s and is today one of Sardinia's most respected producers, originally known for authentic Sardinian Vernaccia wine. For newcomers the Limoncello is an accessible, refreshing digestif; for connoisseurs it's interesting that a house rooted in Sardinian wine culture has expanded to cover the whole range of Italian liqueurs and spirits, including the otherwise southern-Italian Limoncello tradition.

History & Background

Silvio Carta founded his house in Sardinia in the 1950s, starting with the local Vernaccia wine, an old Sardinian style that at the time was little known beyond the island. Over the decades the company grew to encompass a broad range of wines, liqueurs and spirits, and the name gradually became known throughout Italy for its quality. Today Silvio Carta is one of Sardinia's most respected names, with a range that extends far beyond the house's original wine focus.

Production & Style

The limoncello is made by macerating lemon peel in alcohol, sweetened for a sweet, refreshing profile.
