Limoncello di Capri

Limoncello di Capri is an Italian producer specialising in limoncello, the lemon liqueur closely associated with the island of Capri and the broader Campania coast, including the Amalfi Peninsula and Sorrento. The region's volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate produce sfusato and femminello lemons with thick, intensely aromatic rinds that are particularly well suited to liqueur production. Traditional limoncello is made by macerating lemon zest in neutral spirit before blending with sugar and water.

The style is characterised by bright, natural lemon oil aromatics derived from the zest rather than the juice, giving a clean citrus character without the acidity of the fruit itself. Authentic versions produced in this part of southern Italy tend to use locally sourced lemons, which carry PGI recognition, distinguishing them from industrially produced imitators made elsewhere. The result is a sweet, intensely fragrant liqueur typically served well chilled as a digestivo.
