Liquor made from an ancient recipe, which was created in 1890, but with modern technology. Today, Villa Massa is the leading company among manufacturers of Limoncello liqueur.
There is a story, according to which the idea of releasing Limoncello liqueur came up with Sergio Massa after talking with local farmers, who complained that they could not sell all the lemons. What was obvious, because thanks to the excellent climate of the Sorrento Peninsula these famous lemons grow all year round, and farmers produced more fruit than they could sell. Sergio realized that he could offer to local producers to use their products for the manufacture of liquor Limoncello, a family recipe that was created in 1890. Sergio approached with a business proposal to his brother Stefano, so in 1991 he founded the family company Villa Massa, which started production of the magnificent liqueur Limoncello.
