Italy certainly has its wine scene, but it also has made a name for the stronger stuff. Limoncello, a popular digestif that is sweet with the taste of lemons, sugar and alcohol, hails from Italy, most notably the Amalfi Coast.
The best lemons, they say, come from the islands of Capri, but there is evidence that limoncello, or a lemon liqueur, has been crafted in these parts since the days of the Renaissance. Today, you’ll find limoncello being quaffed all along the Amalfi Coast, whose lemons are afforded legal protection by the government.
