Limoncino Liquore Bottega 750ml

Limoncino Liquore Bottega is a sparkling expression of Italy’s famed limoncello tradition, produced by the Bottega family distillery in Veneto and Sicily. This liqueur dates back to the late 19th century and is crafted using the finest Femminello lemon peels—known for their fine texture and high‑quality essential oils. The fruit is hand‑harvested at peak ripeness, carefully peeled to remove the bitter white pith, and only the vibrant yellow zest is retained .

These bright zest peels soak in alcohol for approximately 30 days to extract rich aromatics and colour, before sugar and high‑grade grappa are added to fashion a uniquely smooth, citrus‑kissed liqueur .

Oaks & Corks brings this authentic Italian lemon liqueur straight to your door in Nairobi in under 30 minutes, any time of day.
