Pallini Limoncello is just right for the season.  It is a natural liqueur that has been crafted by the Pallini family in Italy since 1875. The Pallini family has been making super premium liqueurs since 1875 when Nicola Pallini founded their first shop and distillery in Antrodoco. The limoncello is made from prized, Sfusato lemons, exclusive to the Amalfi coast. The handpicked lemons are infused immediately, so their freshness and flavor is delivered in every bottle. Its versatility is almost endless – enjoy it neat, on the rocks, straight from the fridge, or mixed into cocktails and food recipes.

In a category where additives remain widespread and largely undisclosed, Oxbow’s commitment to additive-free production gives rum drinkers and consumers alike a genuinely compelling reason to pay attention.
