Limoncello DICAPRI is a sweet liqueur produced with an artisanal method respectful of the traditions and the flavours of the island of Capri. It’s a symbol of Italian excellence known and loved all over the world. Limoncello DICAPRI has an everlasting bond with its territory because it is made exclusively with P.G.I. (Protected Geographical Indication) Sorrento Lemon peels, rich in essential oils that give body and flavour to the product. Limoncello DICAPRI was born on the island of Capri, a place of unique natural beauty that discovered a vocation for the art of hospitality at the beginning of the 19th century. In the early 20th century Vincenza Canale, the trailblazing host, and landlady of the famous Mariantonia hotel started offering homemade lemon liqueur to her guests. Celebrities and regular visitors alike used to gather at sunset to toast with her special limonillo, the ancient Caprese dialect word for “limoncello”, a name that was first patented by Limoncello DICAPRI. The original recipe created by Vincenza Canale is still used to this day. Limoncello DICAPRI is made exclusively with P.G.I. Sorrento Lemons following an artisanal method respectful of the traditions and the flavours of the island of Capri. The Ovale di Sorrento is a superior lemon with a P.G.I. certification (Protected Geographical Indication) that guarantees its authenticity and uniqueness. Unlike all other lemons, the Ovale is a medium/large-sized and oval-shaped fruit with an aromatic yellow peel and a particularly juicy, tart pulp. Grown in our “giardini” following traditional practices until perfectly ripe, Sorrento lemon is the star ingredient that makes our Limoncello DICAPRI so special. Taste: Sweet, juicy lemon with pronounced zest oils. Well-balanced between sweetness and refreshing acidity. The texture is smooth and slightly creamy thanks to the natural lemon essential oils.
