Limone di Sorrento
Food · PGI · 8 municipalities
The Limone di Sorrento PGI, officially recognized by the European Union in 1999, is legally anchored to a highly restricted territory in Campania comprising just eight municipalities. Unlike neighboring regional citrus denominations, this specific cultivation zone uniquely spans defined municipal boundaries that include Massa Lubrense, Sant'Agnello, Capri, and Anacapri. However, the denomination currently presents a unique regulatory anomaly that distinguishes its practical standing from other active geographic indications in the region: official administrative registries document exactly zero verified producers actively operating under this status, leaving the established geographic designation completely inactive in practice.
