Sogno di Sorrento Lemoncello, is created from the peel of the finest hand-selected Amalfi Coast lemons, a local species of large, subtly flavored lemons that grow along the hill terraces overlooking the sparkling, sunlit Mediterranean Sea. Maurizio and his sons personally oversee and select only the finest sun-ripened lemons to ensure quality and flavor in the production of Sogno di Sorrento. Normal climate conditions along the Amalfi allow lemon groves to produce four harvests per year. Fresh lemon peels are infused in stainless steel tanks four to ten days depending on the season of the harvest with natural spirits, then blended with sugar and distilled water to create this all natural lemon liqueur. An average of ten lemons are used in the production of a single bottle of Sogno di Sorrento Lemoncello. Crema Lemoncello is the natural marriage of rich, fresh Italian cream and Sogno di Sorrento Lemoncello.
Imported by Louis/Dressner Selections. This wine is 100% Carignan sourced from 40+ year old vines of which half is fermented in barrel and the other half by carbonic maceration. Alcohol 13%. The nose was grapey with berry aromas. In the mouth were grapey, ripe and fresh berries, purple notes, and good integration of juicy acidity. There were some black minerals in the slightly-round finish along with notes of violet. This is a quenching wine that does not require further aging.
