Azienda Agricola ALFONSO D'AQUILA

Along Sicily's southeastern coast, Alfonso D'Aquila cultivates Limone di Siracusa IGP, the denomination encompassing the ten municipalities dedicated to this citrus fruit. The heart of their production is the Femminello cultivar, capable of yielding multiple harvests throughout the year: the early Primofiore, the pale-skinned Bianchetto, and the later Verdello. Each of these phases brings the distinct acidity and generous juice yield that the regulations recognize as hallmarks of the Syracuse lemon. Seasonal continuity is the company's true asset: year-round staggered harvesting anchors the work to a constant environment, transforming climatic stability into equally consistent fruit quality at harvest time. This production thrives on the plant's natural rhythm rather than forced methods, making consistency its benchmark. The company is not open to visitors, but its product precisely narrates the Sicilian coastal strip where it ripens, among the ten municipalities that bear the denomination's name.
