Limoncello di Capri

Limoncello di Capri is a renowned producer of the traditional Italian liqueur, Limoncello, located on the beautiful island of Capri in the Bay of Naples. This family-owned distillery has been crafting this iconic drink since 1988 and has become a must-visit for tourists and a beloved local gem.

Her homemade Limoncello became popular among neighbors and visitors, leading the family to officially establish the distillery as a business.

The distillery is located in the heart of Capri, where the warm Mediterranean climate and fertile soil create the perfect conditions for growing the finest lemons. These lemons are handpicked and carefully selected to ensure only the best quality fruit is used in the production of Limoncello di Capri. The lemons are then peeled by hand, with great attention to detail, to extract the fragrant oils and flavors that give Limoncello di Capri its signature taste.
