Luxardo Limoncello

Luxardo Limoncello: A Premium Italian Citrus Liqueur

Luxardo Limoncello is an authentic Italian lemon liqueur crafted by the renowned Luxardo distillery, a family-owned producer with over 200 years of tradition in fine liqueurs. Made using the finest lemons from Southern Italy, Luxardo Limoncello captures the freshness and vibrancy of sun-ripened citrus, delivering a well-balanced combination of zesty tartness and natural sweetness.

Production & Ingredients

Luxardo Limoncello is crafted following a traditional, time-honored maceration process to ensure an intense lemon flavor and smooth texture.

• Italian Lemon Peels – Only the outermost zest is used, ensuring a bright and aromatic citrus essence without excessive bitterness.

• Alcohol Infusion – The lemon peels are steeped in pure grain alcohol to extract their natural oils, resulting in a rich and flavorful infusion.

• Simple Syrup Blend – Pure sugar and water are added to balance the tartness with a natural sweetness, creating a liqueur that is silky and refreshing.

Luxardo Limoncello is bottled at 27% ABV, slightly higher than many limoncellos, enhancing its bold citrus profile and versatility in cocktails.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Bright, golden-yellow with a slightly cloudy consistency, a sign of its natural ingredients.

• Aroma: Freshly zested lemons, complemented by delicate floral and candied citrus notes.

• Palate: A burst of vibrant lemon flavor, with a perfect balance between natural tartness and a smooth, honeyed sweetness. The texture is velvety, coating the palate with a rich citrus essence.
