Liquore di limone di Sorrento

Recognised as a protected geographical indication since 2008, Liquore di limone di Sorrento is legally tied to a highly specific maritime territory in Campania. Unlike generic lemon liqueurs, this spirit's production zone is strictly confined to just eight municipalities, uniquely bridging mainland communities with island enclaves like Anacapri and Capri. This precise geographic restriction defines its identity. Surprisingly, despite this long-standing European Union protection, official registries currently record zero verified producers actively bottling under this specific designation, highlighting a stark gap between formal geographical protection and active certified commercial production in the region.
