Limoncello is a cloudy pale-lemon colour liquid with aroma of sweet lemon zest. It has a rich lemon zest taste initially with a mid-palate balanced with acidic and sweet notes. It has a lovely flavour depth with slightly astringent finish.

Limoncello is a traditional Italian lemon liqueur. It is said that Limoncello production dates back to the 1600’s and it was first developed in convents. Santa Marta is produced by the Francoli family distillery in Northern Italy using Sicilian lemons. Limoncello is the second-most popular liqueur in Italy. It has recently become  a favourite  in  other  parts  of  the  world too.

Italy is the world’s largest producer of lemons so, naturally, Italians have developed a delicious way to use the plentiful fruit. Lemon zest, (peels without the pith), is steeped in grain alcohol until the oil is released. The resulting yellow liquid is then mixed with a simple syrup. No artificial flavours or colours are added to Santa Marta Limoncello.
