Description
"The Strega distillery was founded in the Italian city of Benevento in 1860, when Giuseppe Alberti and his pharmaceutically savvy father reworked an age-old herbal liqueur recipe. Its limoncello is made using Sorrento lemons whereby the outer yellow layer of the lemon peel (the flavedo) is bursting with essential oils and aromas is used. The peels are then macerated in alcohol at room temperature for two days before being mixed with water, sugar and alcohol. On the nose, the Strega limoncello is full of waxy lemon peel with a palate is built of lemon juice, with the waxy peel smoothing out the mouthfeel." - Distillers Notes
