When life gives you lemons, make limoncello! That's what the inhabitants of Italy's sun-drenched Amalfi coast have been doing for centuries, where large, thick-skinned lemons grow in abundance. Here, and throughout southern Italy, Limoncello has long been the traditional taste of summer -- its dazzling lemon yellow color and sweet perfume make it ideal for sipping chilled on a warm night.
Limonsardo comes not from Sorrento but from the renowned Argiolas winery in southern Sardinia. Obtained from the natural infusion of hand-peeled lemons steeped in pure alcohol, this intensely flavored liqueur is perhaps the closest thing to Mediterranean essence in a bottle.
