The Lemons Respect for tradition is the basis of the cultivation of lemons in the Sorrento Peninsula, a typical product, unique in Italy and in the world, on which PIEMME has chosen to focus to differentiate itself from its competitors, who can boast neither this ingredient nor this history. . It is an oval lemon, medium-large in size, with a particularly succulent straw-yellow pulp and a peel with a very particular fragrance, due to the richness of the essential oils present. It is grown, under the supervision of the Consorzio del Limone di Sorrento PGI, from Vico Equense to Massa Lubrense in lands overlooking the sea rich in volcanic elements, according to the traditional method of pergolas and "straws": these are straw mats of roof leaning on support poles in chestnut wood, with the aim of protecting the lemons from the sea breezes and the low temperatures of the cold seasons, thus obtaining a gradual ripening of the fruits. No chemical product is used on the fruits which, depositing on the peel, would alter the taste and aroma of the derived products. The ability of the farmers, who tend to treat sick plants, rather than to cut them down and replace them, means that the PIEMME crops can boast centuries-old plants and 7-10 blooms a year, an almost daily harvest and therefore an always fresh product at the origin. In order to respect the main ingredient of our work, a biological stop of about 2 months is implemented, in the period October-December (variable depending on the climate and the type of stem), to guarantee the natural regeneration of the plants, which therefore they do not undergo an intensive exploitation that would impoverish the soil and the fruits. These elements have ensured that the Lemon of Sorrento was given the Protected Geographical Indication IGP , an important guarantee of the quality of the raw material, which we also wanted to underline with the affixing of the brand on the Limoncello label, so that the the final consumer perceives from the first impact that it is a product of excellence. The Limoncello In the Sorrento Peninsula the production of lemon liqueur dates back to ancient times and still today is carried out with a transformation system that preserves the artisanal and traditional methods of the area, handed down to the present day. PIEMME, since 1986, is the undisputed leader in the production of Limoncello which, rightly, can be considered the Gold of Sorrento. Nel rispetto delle tradizioni ma sensibile alla modernità, oggi PIEMME si rinnova nell’immagine comunicativa e nel messaggio ai suoi affezionati e nuovi clienti, dando maggiore visibilità al suo prodotto di punta, per dare risalto alla purezza dei suoi ingredienti e alla luminosità della sua storia. Nasce così la nuova etichetta trasparente dei liquori PIEMME, tramite cui il prodotto stesso sembra voler comunicare senza timore la propria purezza e genuinità, finalmente non più mascherata. In questo modo l’etichetta diventa più raffinata ed elegante, assecondando un bisogno di piacevolezza del consumatore che cerca l’alta qualità. Non è mancato, infine, il richiamo agli elementi distintivi del territorio in cui nascono i prodotti PIEMME: il mare, il sole, i limoni. All that remains is to open a bottle of Sorrento Gold to grasp its intoxicating scent, a messenger of the beauty and genuineness that the Sorrento Peninsula has always cultivated.
