The Portuguese brand LIMONTEJO O LIMONCELLO DO NOSSO MONTE® was born from a fortunate meeting between Italian tradition and the authenticity of Portuguese produce, transforming a family recipe into a lemon liqueur with deep roots in the Alentejo region. Created by Francesco Catucci, an Italian with a passion for Portugal, and his Portuguese brother-in-law, Miguel Russo, the brand began to take shape at the family’s country estate, where naturally grown lemons from the orchard inspired the artisanal production of what is presented as the first limoncello made in Portugal. The traditional Italian recipe, passed down through generations, found a new identity in the Alentejo, shaped by time, dedication and respect for the ingredients, giving rise to a drink with a fresh, intense and authentic flavour. More than simply adapting a foreign tradition, the Portuguese brand LIMONTEJO O LIMONCELLO DO NOSSO MONTE® embraced it and reinterpreted it in a distinctly Portuguese way, celebrating the land, the simplicity of shared moments and the pleasure of gathering around the table. Served well chilled, as a digestif or as part of a convivial occasion, it represents a Portuguese identity that is open to the world, capable of welcoming different influences and enriching them with the character, quality and soul of national produce. It is an Italian story transformed by a Portuguese passion, with the Alentejo at its heart and the taste of Portugal in every bottle.
