RAU Distilleria Limoncello

Limoncello made from sun-ripened Sardinian lemons using traditional methods

With the scent of fruity lemons ripening under the Sardinian sun, this fine limoncello with its fresh, fruity taste brings a piece of holiday in a glass.

The intense golden yellow already radiates towards us from the bottle. It is traditionally prepared with a slow and controlled infusion according to an old and original recipe. The result is a lemon liqueur with a fruity aroma that is characterised by its digestive properties at the end of a fine meal. It is also delicious with ice cream and as a base for a refreshing Limoncello spritzer. Try it out!

The production of Limoncello

To make Limoncello, the outer peel of untreated lemons must be very thinly peeled, without the white layer in between. The white lining would make the taste of the limoncello very bitter. The lemon peel is macerated in 95% vol. alcohol for three to four weeks. In the process, the alcohol draws the essential oils out of the lemon peel. The macerate is then brought to drinking strength with hot water and sugar or syrup. The liqueur is left to rest for at least another week and then filtered.
