About this product
The Essence of Sardinia in a Bottle.
Silvio Carta Limonello Ricetta Originale is a radiant lemon liqueur that captures the sun-soaked spirit of Sardinia. Crafted by the Silvio Carta distillery on the Sinis Peninsula, this small-batch liqueur celebrates the island’s lush lemon groves and centuries-old traditions. Each lemon is hand-selected at peak ripeness, ensuring a natural sweetness and vibrant zest that comes alive in every sip.
From the first pour, Silvio Carta Limonello evokes golden sunlight, Mediterranean breezes, and the fresh, tangy aroma of the island’s citrus orchards. Its smooth balance of sweet and bright citrus notes makes it perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or mixing into creative cocktails. Irish enthusiasts will also appreciate how its delicate flavours complement the local palate, bringing a slice of Mediterranean sunshine to homes across Ireland.
Why we love it:
We adore Silvio Carta Limonello for its authenticity and versatility. The fresh, hand-selected lemons provide a lively, refreshing profile, while subtle floral undertones add depth and elegance. Whether enjoyed neat, stirred into a sparkling spritz, or used as a base for inventive cocktails, Limonello embodies the heart of Sardinia in every glass.
