Kerikeri NEW ZEALAND
The World’s best limoncello didn’t happen by chance. Sovrano Limoncello came about by the perfect symbiosis of a very passionate Italian artisan from Sicily who saw the opportunity of growing some of the worlds best lemons and oranges in the pristine natural environment of Kerikeri in New Zealand. The result is now history as Sovrano Limoncello has taken the world by storm by winning an extraordinary number of Gold Medals and World titles.
Sovrano is now arguably the purest and most unique limoncello ever made. Combine this with elegance, simplicity of pure flavour and a depth of taste that lingers forever and you have an exceptional quality product beyond compare. Sovrano limoncello is of course perfect on its own but it is also versatile. It is brilliant in cocktails, it enhances flavours when used in cooking and it adds a new dimension of taste when it is poured over ice cream, fruit salad and pastries.
The Beginning…
Andrea & Marzia were born in Northern Italy, Andrea’s family is of Sicilian origin, and Marzia’s family origins are from Mantova. They both emigrated to New Zealand in 2007 and set in the magical Kerikeri.
Marzia’s family has been in the wine making business for generations. Andrea’s family has a tradition in Liqueurs. Having a family experience and having tasted many hundreds of different Limoncello in their life, Andrea & Marzia know the importance of using fresh and perfect ingredients.
The secret of Limoncello, must be in the persistent but not pungent and pleasant aftertaste.
After they had found the best lemons in Bay of Islands, and the best pure alcohol produced in New Zealand, Andrea & Marzia in the early 2009 began to produce the best and purest Sovrano Limoncello, and from the very beginning it was a success throughout New Zealand, with great results, and growing every day.
