Piemme, since 1986, is the undisputed leader in the production of Limoncello, which can rightly be considered the Gold of Sorrento.
The collection of Sorrento lemons is strictly done by hand, to prevent the fruit from being damaged.
and precedes a series of processes, suitable for the production of Limoncello, which Piemme produces within its own company.
In fact the infusion phase in pure alcohol and beet sugar (without any additive, syrup or sweetener), the extraction of the skins from the containers (in which the precious infusion remains) and the bottling are carried out in about 4-7 days in the internal laboratory of Piemme, a true bastion of craftsmanship but characterized by technological innovation and strict quality controls.

A desire to rediscover and newly promote a liqueur which boasts a glorious past in the Italian liqueur tradition prodded Villa Zarri into producing Cherry Brandy: Villa Zarri brandy, distilled wine aged in small French oak barrels for 6 years, is blended with precious cherries coming from Castello di Serravalle, a small town located on the hills of  Bologna, close to the district of Modena, lying within the area where the typical Vignola cherries, renowned as the best in Italy, are grown. In order to achieve excellent results, two types of cherries are used: durone della marca and nero secondo, endowed with extremely different characteristics.

They stem from a bled of various years and a range of brandies of different ageings. The number of years reported on the label refers to the most recent year present in the blend, although on average, in both cases, the mean ageing is higher that this.
The name “Traditional Blend” is due to the fact that traditionally the brandy which is bottled is made up of a mixture, or blend, of various distillates of different years and ageings.

This is due to the fact that the addition of various organoleptic characteristics in distillates makes the bouquet of the blended brandy much more harmonic and complete

This liqueur is obtained by means of infusion with a top-quality coffee brand coming from India, an Arabic one and a very-low acidity one called “Plantation A” into Trebbiano wine, aged for six years in French oaken barrels.

Infusion lasts for very few days, during which ground coffee passes on flavours and aromas to the brandy. At the end, having added some water, in order to bring the alcoholic strength to the required figure (40°) and some sugar, in order to soften the bitterness of coffee, the infusion is filtered and allowed to rest for at least one year before bottling it. The result is a product which harmonically combines the chocolate aromas of the extraordinary coffee used and the scents of aged Villa Zarri wine distillate.

The brandy is aged in small new oaken barrels, then it is transferred into the so-called exhausted barred, which are almost texclusively used for the tannin and alcoho loxidation process. At this point, our brandy acquires its full strength and is ready ,without adding any distilled water, which would lower its alcoholic strength. The result is a pure product, totally natural and endowed with a strong identity.

Due to its high alcoholic strength, between 55 and 59 percent, in order to taste it optimally, it is recommendable to prepare your palate and throat by sipping a single drop of brandy, spreading it on your palate with your tongue. Having stimulated the perception of your whole mouth, the real tasting starts with small draughts, while always keeping a glass of water at hand in order to heighten its aromas. Dedicated to those who can enjoy strong and determined tastes, Villa Zarri full proof Vintage Brandies are ideal when associated with simple tastes, such as intense plain chocolate ,dry fruits, dates, marbled cheeses ,smoked meats ,or if sipped with a good , traditionallcigar.

The idea of Brandy Millesimato (that is, vintage brandy) is therefore due to the intention of bottling a product endowed with the characteristics of a particular year. The wines used are Trebbiano Toscano and Trebbiano Romagnolo, distilled with a discontinuous method by means of a Charentais alembic which preserves all its best characteristics.

Brandies are aged in small 350-litre oaken barrels made in France (Limousin and Allier). During the first year of ageing, new barrels are used, in order to pass on to the distillate a certain colour and certain tannins. Later on, the brandy is transferred into the so-called exhausted barrels, which are almost exclusively used for the tannin and alcohol oxydation process. During the ageing period, the alcoholic strength is slowly lowered, by adding distilled water, until the final strength, which in this case is 44%, is reached.

Disaronno Originale is an amaretto-tasting liqueur with a characteristic almond taste made in Italy. Its maker, Disaronno, maintains its original "secret formula" is unchanged since 1525,[1] and claims the Amaretto Legend "Luini tale" as its own particular history.

The amber colored drink is an infusion of apricot pits oil with "absolute alcohol, burnt sugar, and the pure essence of seventeen selected herbs and fruits".[1] The liqueur is sold in an oblong glass decanter designed by a craftsman from Murano and does not contain any almonds or other nuts.[2]

Disaronno can be served straight up as a cordial, on the rocks, or as part of a cocktail mixed with other alcoholic beverages, Coca-Cola, ginger ale, or fruit juice. It may also be added to hot chocolate and is an ingredient in the Italian variant of an Irish Coffee

In the town of Saronno to the painter Bernardino Luini was commissioned a fresco depicting the Virgin and the Adoration of the Magi . The fresco is still visible in the Santuario della Beata Vergine dei Miracoli. Legend has it that during the period when the artist lived in Saronno alloggiasse at a particularly beautiful innkeeper , of which he fell in love to the point of using her as a model for his Madonna . To thank him , she offered him an elixir of herbs, toasted sugar, bitter almonds and brandy that was immediately appreciated and spread in no time. The liquor then maintained a sense of affection and friendship, and is now one of the most popular Italian products abroad. Is not translated, and the name remains the same in all languages. In the town of Saronno is located the historic establishment of the company Illva Saronno Spa, producer of the liquor with the brand " Disaronno ".

The recipe of the Amaretto Disaronno includes the use of almonds essential oils combined with sweet spices. It has a bitter-sweet taste, an amber colour and a final note of almonds.
