Limoncello Dicapri

The island of Capri, renowned for its extraordinary natural beauty and for being the birthplace of the famous Limoncello DICAPRI, has demonstrated a strong vocation for hospitality since the early decades of the 19th century. It was precisely at the beginning of the 20th century that Vincenza Canale, a pioneer of the local hotel industry and owner of the renowned Mariantonia guesthouse, introduced the custom of offering her guests a special lemon-based liqueur, which she herself prepared. Soon, illustrious figures and regular visitors to the island began to meet at sunset to taste this distillate, which would later become universally known as "limoncello". In 1988, in a spirit of continuity with the family tradition, the descendants of Vincenza Canale founded Limoncello di Capri S.r.l., becoming the first company to register and use the "limoncello" trademark. Today, the company produces Limoncello DI CAPRI according to the original recipe of Vincenza Canale, handed down intact over the decades. Strictly following artisanal methods and in full respect of the traditions and typical flavors of the island of Capri, Limoncello DICAPRI is made exclusively with Sorrento PGI lemons, thus guaranteeing a product of the highest quality and an unmistakable flavor."

Limoncello DICAPRI, a product of excellence, finds its essence in the exclusive use of the Sorrento Oval, a citrus fruit protected by the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This certification attests to its geographical origin and qualitative peculiarities, linked to the terroir of origin and traditional cultivation techniques. The Sorrento Oval, present in the area since the 16th century, is distinguished by the following botanical and organoleptic characteristics: Elliptical shape, medium-large size, yellow lemon peel rich in essential oils, juicy and acidic pulp. The plants are grown in the shade of pagliarelle, wooden and straw structures that protect the trees from adverse weather conditions, prolonging their ripening times and accentuating their aromatic characteristics. The lemons are hand-picked and rigorously selected both in the field and in the factory, to ensure the highest quality of the raw material.

Limoncello DICAPRI has an intense yellow color and an enveloping aroma of fresh lemon. On the palate it is sweet and refreshing, with a slightly bitter aftertaste that balances its sweetness. Its versatility makes it perfect to accompany desserts, such as ice cream and fruit salads, or to create original cocktails. The combination with dark chocolate enhances the bitter note of the liqueur, while the addition of a splash of soda makes it ideal for a light and thirst-quenching aperitif. The exclusive use of the Sorrento Oval gives Limoncello DICAPRI an unmistakable aromatic profile, characterized by intense and persistent notes of lemon, perfectly balanced with the other components of the product. The lemon peels, obtained by manual peeling, are subjected to an alcoholic infusion that extracts the essential oils and aromatic substances. Next, water and sugar are added, according to a traditional recipe that guarantees a balanced and delicate final product.
