The history of the original recipe of limoncello is one that is rife with controversy and bends through a series of anecdotes and legends. Commonly used as an aperitif or digestif, limoncello is enjoyed by many worldwide and is the second most popular liqueur in Italy.
Villa Massa is a true quality product and a spectacular expression of this beloved spirit. 100% natural ingredients are blended lovingly on the Massa family farm and the finished product is based on a family recipe dating back to 1890.
