TASTING NOTES

Production

A family-run business, located in Campania in Massa Lubranese, a few kilometres from Naples. The Il Convento farm traces its roots back to 1935, when Antonino Pollio took over a plot of land that had previously been worked, cultivated and then abandoned by the monks. Following the techniques he had learnt in previous years, he thus began a series of crops that were subsequently passed down through the family, specialising over the years in the production of lemons for the limoncello typical of the Sorrento peninsula. Today, Il Convento produces liqueurs, oil, wines and other specialities from its own land, following the principles of organic farming through artisanal production that fully respects nature and its cycles. This exquisite sweet-and-sour liqueur with its authentic flavour is made from Sorrento lemons. The lemons grown by the Pollio family are of the ‘Ovale di Sorrento’ variety, a succulent citrus fruit of great quality. The bottles of limoncello produced at Il Convento are completely free from preservatives and colourings. Its inimitable organoleptic characteristics stem directly from the excellent quality of the lemons from which it is made and the care taken during maceration, using the ancient recipe handed down from generation to generation.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Intense yellow in colour, fresh and velvety, with a delightful taste, it releases all the natural aromas of the Sorrento Oval Lemon PGI.

Occasion and Pairing

A bottle to be enjoyed ice-cold at the end of a meal, after coffee, when the time for reflection arrives.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its character, this liqueur should be served at a temperature of 4°C.

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.
