Limoncino, the Ligurian sun in a bottle
Fresh and citrusy, crafted from Sant’Ilario lemons
From fragrant zest to a full, rounded flavor, Limoncino is a Mediterranean classic blending simplicity, freshness, and warmth in every sip
Limoncino is crafted from the cold infusion of organic, untreated lemon peels harvested in the hills above Genoa. Alcohol, sugar, and water complete a simple, authentic recipe that captures the warmth of the sun in every drop.
Perfect as a digestif or in summer cocktails, this liqueur carries the freshness of sea breezes and the citrus energy of Ligurian landscapes. Each bottle evokes sunlit terraces, convivial gatherings, and the comforting aroma of home.
The taste of summer, all year round
Every step, from harvesting lemons to their slow infusion, reflects careful craftsmanship intended to preserve the fruit's aromas, intensity, and character
The lemon zest is steeped in alcohol for more than a week, releasing vibrant, natural aromas. After maceration, sugar syrup and water are added, achieving a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness.
Best enjoyed ice-cold, it also shines in desserts, tarts, or creamy treats. Its simplicity makes it versatile; its fragrance unforgettable. It’s the perfect liqueur for those who cherish clear, bright, and authentic flavors.

Created for those who appreciate authenticity, it suits every occasion—from aperitif to after-dinner moments, enjoyed alone or paired with artisan pastries. It’s the best way to conclude a meal with the lightness and scent of Liguria.
