History
There appears to be no single version of exactly where limoncello originated but most believe that limoncello was first introduced on Italy’s Amalfi coastline. Mentions of the liqueur first appeared around 1900, though it was referred to as a traditional
liqueur even then. The most common story of its origins is that an innkeeper on the isle of Capri began producing the lemon based liqueur for her customers.

How I got started
Several years ago, as part of a belated honeymoon with my wife, I had the opportunity to tour various parts of Italy.
