Azienda Agricola GIUSEPPE DI PIETRO

On the Syracuse coast, within the ten municipalities of the protected area, Giuseppe Di Pietro cultivates Limone di Siracusa IGP, keeping the Femminello variety alive. This citrus fruit is harvested in three distinct cycles throughout the year—the Primofiore in spring, the Bianchetto in summer, and the Verdello in autumn—each with its own distinct character, marking the stages of an uninterrupted maturation. The fruit's character arises from the encounter between the mineral soils of the coast and a climate tempered by the proximity of the sea, conditions that yield a juicy pulp and a recognizable aromatic profile. This continuity of harvests reveals the essence of the denomination: not a uniform product, but a lemon that changes with the seasons while remaining true to its origin. The cultivation of the Femminello, a varietà long associated with this stretch of Sicily, is the guarantee of that protected identity.
