Often called “the pride of the estate,” this liqueur is crafted exclusively from lemons grown on the farm. Only the fragrant peels are used, together with a grape-based distillate produced from the estate’s own vineyards. The lemon peels are left to infuse in the fruit spirit for several months in stainless-steel tanks, slowly releasing their essential oils and aromas. The natural character of the drink is evident in the thin oily layer forming at the top of the bottle — a sign of the high concentration of oils naturally present in the lemon skins.
Its colour is a cloudy olive green, unfiltered and vibrant, with a crisp aroma and flavour reminiscent of freshly picked lemons.
Serve at 10–12 °C as a digestif.
A Family Legacy from the Heart of Sicily
Sisters Rita and Giusy Russo nurture a unique heritage – a lemon grove planted by their great-grandfather Francesco nearly 150 years ago near Palermo, Sicily. In this sun-drenched, fragrant orchard, exceptional liqueurs are born, reflecting deep family traditions and a strong connection to the land.
Limoncello – The Pride of Sicily
It was the Russo family who, in the 1990s, became the first in Sicily to start producing Limoncello, a liqueur that has since become a true symbol of the island. Their innovative approach to this classic Italian drink has turned it into a favorite not only among tourists but also among gourmet enthusiasts worldwide.
Only Natural Ingredients – No Compromises
Rita and Giusy are firmly committed to natural quality: their liqueurs are made exclusively from fruits grown in their own lemon grove or from carefully selected, top-quality ingredients sourced from around the world – such as Ceylon cinnamon, premium chocolate from renowned producers, and other authentic additions.
Handcrafted with Distinctive Care
Each bottle of the Russo sisters’ liqueur is a small work of art. The liqueurs are unfiltered to preserve their full, natural flavor. Every label is applied by hand and decorated with dried herbs, giving each bottle an extra touch of charm and authenticity.
A Versatile Taste – From Cocktails to Desserts
These handcrafted liqueurs are perfect not only for mixing in cocktails but also for pairing with ice cream, desserts, or enjoying on their own as a refined digestif. Every sip is a journey to sun-soaked Sicily, where tradition, flavor, and craftsmanship come together.
