Limonio - Authentic Sicilian Limoncello - 35%
Limonio is a family business based in Partinico, near Palermo in Sicily, renowned for its unique traditional expertise in producing artisanal limoncello. Founded by great-grandfather Francesco Russo, a pioneer in selling fresh citrus fruits, this house preserves an ancestral expertise by carefully harvesting citrus flowers to extract superior quality essential oils. These oils, used in the cosmetics industry as well as in confectionery and pharmacy, exhibit exceptional purity, obtained from tons of rigorously selected fruits.
After World War II, Limonio diversified its activity while maintaining a strong local agricultural identity. In the 1990s, the Russo family innovated and developed a limoncello production that became a true benchmark throughout Sicily, thus enhancing the international reputation of this iconic Italian drink. Today, the Limonio range has expanded to also include an exceptional extra virgin olive oil as well as numerous artisanal liqueurs.
The limoncello Limonio is traditionally made from the zest of Sicilian Femminello lemons, known for their intense aroma and incomparable freshness. The alcohol used comes from the rigorous distillation of Sicilian wine grapes, blended with pure water and sugar, ensuring a liqueur with an authentic, balanced, and delicately sweet taste.
