Most fine wines and spirits are great because of the way they balance different components, but limoncello is different. Limoncello is a pure infusion of lemon peel, and the quality of the limoncello depends on the quality of the lemons. ‘Il Gusto di Amalfi’ is a tiny company that takes organically-grown lemons from the hillsides of the Amalfi Coast (near Tramonti), peels them by hand with potato-peelers in small batches, and macerates them in pure grain alcohol in stainless steel vessels like very small wine tanks. (Commercial limoncello is sometimes bitter, a sign that the pith of the fruit has been accidentally included with the zest; hand-peeling avoids this.) The variety of lemon is ‘Sfusato Amalfitano’, and the groves are owned and farmed by Mario Anastasio’s friends and family. This limoncello is pure expression of an excellent raw material, and that’s it. Drink cold but not iced as a digestivo; the liqueur may need to be shaken occasionally to mix in the lemon oils that rise to the top.  I bet this would also make a killer Tom Collins with some good Gin.

Description

Limoncello is a very simple spirit made by the infusion of lemon-peels in neutral alcohol. The quality comes entirely from the quality of the citrus; ours is made from lemon peel removed by hand from spectacularly aromatic Amalfi Coast lemons, then macerated in alcohol for a few weeks and mixed with cane sugar. The real stuff will have some lemon oil floating on top, just give the bottle a good shake before pouring. Drink cold but not iced for best effect.
