TASTING NOTES

A family business, located in Massa Lubrense in Campania, a few kilometres from Naples. The Il Convento farm has its roots way back in 1935, when Antonino Pollio took over land that until then had been worked, cultivated and then abandoned by the friars. Following the techniques learned in previous years, he therefore started a series of crops that were then handed down by family, specializing over the years in the production of lemons for the typical limoncello of the Sorrento peninsula. Today, Il Convento produces liqueurs, oil, wines and other specialties from its own lands, following the principles of organic farming, through artisan productions in total respect for nature and its cycles. This exquisite bittersweet liqueur with real flavour comes from the lemons of Sorrento. The lemons grown by the Pollio family are the "Oval from Sorrento" variety, a succulent citrus fruit of great value. The bottles of limoncello produced at Il Convento are completely free from preservatives and colourings. Its inimitable tasting profile depends directly on the excellent quality of the lemons from which it is obtained and on the care with which the maceration takes place using the ancient recipe handed down from generation to generation. Intense yellow, fresh and velvety, very pleasant to taste, it releases all the natural scents of the PGI Sorrento Oval Lemon. A bottle to be enjoyed ice-cold at the end of a meal, after coffee, when the moment for meditation arrives. Read more Read less
THE WINERY

Il Convento

The story of the Il Convento farm is the realisation of a dream. After years of hard work spent in the fields owned by the Franciscan friars of Sorrento, farmer Antonio Pollio proudly took over the property. Handing down the respect for nature and the land from generation to generation, the Pollio family has been dedicated to the cultivation of the famous Sorrento lemons since 1935, the skin of which is used to make a unique limoncello. The Pollio family's link with the friars of the convent is one of the peculiarities of this Campania estate: it seems that the first fruits of the harvest were offered as a gift to the Prior, and that the image of San Francesco was placed on the wine barrels as a sign of protection and good luck. Even today, the utmost attention is still paid to the quality and care of the soil, whose characteristics make it possible to preserve the maximum authenticity of the lemons, particularly the prized “ovale di Sorrento I.G.P.” variety. The result is an intense, fragrant and brightly coloured liqueur, excellent as a digestive or to be enjoyed with a dessert, perhaps a typical Neapolitan one. Name and address of producer/distributor: Il Convento - Via Bagnulo, 10, 80061 Massa Lubrense (NA). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
