Strega Limoncello Italian Liqueur 70 cl 28%

From sun-soaked southern Italy, where lemon trees hang heavy with fruit, comes this fresh and naturally sweet limoncello from the house behind the legendary Strega.

Expert description

Strega Limoncello is an Italian Fruit liqueur based on sun-ripened Italian lemons, bottled at 28%.

Limoncello is an extension from Strega Alberti Benevento S.p.A., the traditional house from Benevento in southern Italy that has made the famous saffron-yellow herbal liqueur Strega since 1860. With Strega Limoncello, the house has carried the same craftsmanship over to the classic Italian lemon liqueur, where the oil from lemon peel is extracted and blended with sugar and alcohol into an intense, clean citrus flavour.

Taste

The nose is fresh and intense with freshly pressed lemons. On the palate, Strega Limoncello is sweet and round with a clear citrus character, while the finish is clean and refreshing with a hint of acidity that keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying.
