The preparation of this lemon liqueur starts with the harvest of lemons specially selected gardens. On the day of harvest, the lemons are lightly washed and immediately peeled. The peels are then infused in alcohol derived from molasses. The final preparation takes place in mixers where the infused lemon is combined with syrup made from sucrose.
It is all about pure, fresh lemon for this super sweet dessert cordial. Every aspect from the fragrance to the finish is a lemony delight that takes one back to childhood days laden with those sweet and slightly sour lemon drops from the old-time corner drug store
Giori’s Lemoncillo Liqueur is an opalescent yellow in color with a nose of fresh lemon zest with a mildly sugary backdrop. The body is medium and the palate shows a good balance between the zest and the sugar. The finish is quite warm and pleasantly refreshing. The alcohol content is 30%.

Made from the finest grain spirits infused with the juice and peel of lemons from Italy's sunny southern Amalfi coast.
Whether at home or out, Caravella Limoncello adds a continental spirit to any occasion.
Welcome to the essence of la dolce vita. It is Caravella Limoncello, the sensation of Europe, now taking the U.S. by storm. From the long-revered Italian tradition of the classic limoncello, this exquisite liqueur is made from the finest grain spirits infused with the juice and peels of lemons from Italy's sunny southern Amalfi coast.
The term "limoncello" describes one of Italy's most relished drinks. At the beginning of this century, it became very fashionable in homes to soak lemon peels and leaves in fine alcohol, adding sugar to create a delicious liqueur served well-chilled on hot summer nights. The lemons, which grow plentifully on Italy's spectacular southern coast, were highly valued not only for their wonderful taste but also because they were considered to have tremendous curative properties.
This bottled version, Caravella Limoncello, was created by Paolo Sperone in Milan from a family recipe dating back to 1898. Founded in 1911 by Antonio Sperone, the company is now the world's fourth-largest producer of Italian aperitifs. Though virtually unknown in the U.S. until now, limoncello is currently so popular in Italy it accounts for 35% of total liqueur consumption in that country.
Whether at home or when dining out, Caravella Limoncello adds a continental spirit to any occasion. The classic order comes ice cold,"neat", in a chilled cordial glass.
Caravella Limoncello should be stored in the freezer to ensure that it is always served ice cold.
