CapriNatura

It is no wonder that the island of Capri is a popular destination. Accessible from the port of Naples and Sorrento, the island is only a short distance by ferry or hydrofoil, a pleasant excursion. Once there, visitors are refreshed by the delicious lemon perfume in the air, and are captivated by the citrus trees that seem to be everywhere. Since 1989, the CapriNatura workshop has been producing Limoncello following the traditional recipe of alcohol, sugar, water and lemon rinds. In fact, Rafaele Esposito says this is the same recipe used by his Great-grandmother Laura, and both of his grandmothers Luisa and Angelina. He has chosen to follow another example as well: No artificial colors or preservatives are used in production of CapriNatura Limoncello. Since the beginning Caprinatura has been a full member of the Terre delle Sirene consortium, an organization of lemon farmers and producers from Sorrento and Capri. The consortium is dedicated to the protection of lemon cultivation and the reputation of the area's products.

This lemon liqueur is an excellent digestif and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Chilled on its own or added in drops to a classic Martini it is extremely pleasing. Mix it with tonic or iced tea for a refreshing summer beverage, or add to Prosecco or sparkling wine for an elegant cocktail.

CapriNatura Limoncello is also a wonderful accompaniment to lemon or strawberry sorbetto, and is exceptional with vanilla gelato.

CapriNatura's packaging is unique and a great source of pride. The obelisk-shaped bottle is easy to identify and has become the signature of CapriNatura. Discerning customers have to come to look for it, confident of the excellent product inside.
