Most ingredients still come from local Le Marche producers who grow exclusively for the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor its limoncello the family reaches south to Sorrento, whose thick-skinned, intensely fragrant lemons are the gold standard. The fresh peels - where all the aromatic oils live - are macerated in spirit for three months before the liqueur is blended and sweetened, an old family recipe that keeps the lemon flavor vivid rather than candied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh Sorrento lemon peel from the first sniff: vibrant, zesty and natural, with a full, sweet palate of lemon oil and zest and a clean citrus finish that never turns syrupy or artificial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Italian rule: serve it freezer-cold, straight from the freezer in a chilled small glass, after dinner.
