What makes Lucano Limoncello special?
Lucano Anniversario Limoncello comes from the enchanting peninsula of Sorrento. This is a 100% natural liqueur and does not contain any food colorings or preservatives. It is made exclusively with PGI Lemons of Sorrento, which are considered the best and most aromatic lemons available in the world. Under strict guidelines, these PGI lemons must be grown in the Sorrento Peninsula, have a minimum weight of 3 ounces, a medium-thick peel, rich in essential oils and very fragrant, and an elevated acidity rich in Vitamin C and mineral salts. To sum it up, Lucano Limoncello uses the Rolls Royce of lemons in their liqueur.
