      Steeped in Sorrento tradition, this is limoncello at its most authentic. Il Convento has crafted artisanal liqueurs on the Sorrento Peninsula since 1935, drawing from the fertile coastal terraces overlooking the Bay of Naples. Only PGI-certified Sorrento lemons are used, hand-picked at full maturity for their thick, aromatic skins. The peels are gently macerated in neutral spirit to extract essential oils before being blended with pure water and cane sugar, producing a luminous golden liqueur that is both vivid and balanced.

      The Pollio family continues to guide Il Convento with the same attention to detail that defined its early years. Every stage of production takes place at the historic convent estate in Massa Lubrense, where traditional methods are combined with quiet precision. No artificial colouring or preservatives are ever used, ensuring a limoncello of natural clarity and true regional expression. The result is an elegant, finely tuned spirit that speaks of craft, patience, and the distinctive character of Campanian citrus.

      Il Convento Limoncello is more than a regional staple, it is a reflection of Sorrento’s deep connection to its landscape. Each sip carries the brightness of coastal lemons, the freshness of sea air, and the calm rhythm of Mediterranean life. Best served ice-cold after a meal, it offers a clean, invigorating close and a lingering sense of place that endures long after the glass is empty.

      Il Convento

      Il Convento is a family-run estate located in the hills of Massa Lubrense on the Sorrento Peninsula in Campania, Italy, overlooking the Gulf of Naples. The brand’s origins date back to 1935, when Antonino Pollio purchased a stretch of fertile land once cultivated by local monks — hence the name “Il Convento” (“The Convent”). Guided by deep respect for the region’s agricultural traditions, Antonino restored the ancient lemon groves and laid the foundation for a family legacy rooted in craftsmanship and authenticity. Today, the estate remains under the care of his descendants, led by Peppe Pollio, who continues to uphold the Pollio family’s dedication to quality and the preservation of local heritage. Every bottle of Il Convento Limoncello is produced on the estate using lemons grown in the surrounding groves, particularly the prized “Oval Lemons of Sorrento IGP” — a variety renowned for its thick aromatic peel and intense essential oils. Through generations of hands-on farming and artisanal production, Il Convento has become a trusted symbol of genuine Sorrentine tradition.
