The recorded history of Limoncello started at the end of the nineteenth century when lemon liqueur was present on the tables of local Italian families and used as an aperitif or digestive. Each family in the region has its unique recipe and blending techniques for producing Limoncello, and the Massa family is no exception.
The Massa family’s traditional recipe dates back to 1890 and was made using fruits grown in the family lemon grove. In 1991, brothers Sergio and Stefano Massa founded the Villa Massa company to make this liqueur accessible to everyone, while remaining true to the best tradition of the Limoncello of Sorrento.
