Meletti Description
Lemon trees have been cultivated on the Amalfi coast since 200 A.D.. The noble lemon has made its way through India, Asia, and North America. According to Greek mythology, it is the symbol of fruitfulness and love, while Italian tradition says that Limoncello liqueur is the elixir of life. Folklore holds that Limoncello has medicinal virtues and was capable of curing everything from bad breath to a bad love life.
Tasting Notes
Meletti Limoncello is a delicious citrus liqueur with a rich, full mouthfeel and the inviting aroma of fresh lemons.
The lemon flavors are pronounced, but not harsh, and the taste is balanced by a delightfully sweet finish.
Production
Sorrento lemons are hand-harvested in mid-October and quickly brought to Meletti’s distillery from groves located
along the coast. No coloring or stabilizing additives are added for a pure and natural limoncello.
