Background

Artistry, energy and ingenuity abound in this enticing lemon and grappa-based liqueur from entrepreneur Sandro Bottega and his family. Limoncino Bottega is produced at the Bottega family facilities near Venice in northeast Italy's Veneto region -- the birthplace of grappa. In addition to grappa and glassware, this energetic family's ventures include production of wines and sparkling wines, wine accessories, mineral water, olive oil and organic foods. Produced from fragrantly perfumed rinds of fresh Sicilian lemons, infused in alcohol, leading to an extraction of essential oils. The addition of the best quality grappa from the Bottega family distillery in the Veneto region makes it a liqueur that is as smooth and unctuous as it is fragrant.

Points

Made with Sicilian lemons and grappa, this “limoncino” has a lingering, bright lemon-candy flavor cut by a welcome fillip of brisk alcohol, which softens the sweetness, and a hint of lemongrass. Although the brand recommends using the spirit for lemon drop cocktails, it would be equally at home in a drink with gin or infused with botanicals like rosemary. — Kara Newman
