Distiller Notes
CapriNatura Limoncello, carried out using the method typical of the bell, according to an old family recipe, originates from the infusion, in pure alcohol, lemon zest of fresh Costiera. The working, respectful of the characteristics of the fruit, enhance the harmony of the aroma and its intense flavor.
The production method is traditional: lemons, immediately after the harvest are selected and hand peeled, to obtain a thin skin, lacking the bitter white part that would make the liqueur. The skins are then placed in infusion of pure alcohol for several days.
Subsequently the infusion solution is added water and sugar. The resulting liquor, yellow-green, dense and mellow flavor with a fresh, aromatic flavor.

The nosing passes find delightful, tart fragrances of freshly sliced lemons. The entry is totally focused on the crisp, clean taste of lemon juice; at midpalate there's just enough sweetness to balance the lemony/citrusy character. Best Buy.

First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
