Pallini Limoncello is a brand of traditional Italian lemon-flavored liqueur known as limoncello. It is produced in Italy by Pallini S.p.A. a family-owned and operated beverage company based in Rome, Italy. It is 26% alcohol by volume, 52 proof. The limoncello was introduced in 1999, and is based on a 100-year-old Pallini family recipe. It is imported and distributed in the US by Castle Brands Inc (New York, NY). == Company History == Nicola Pallini (b. 1851) was a prominent merchant in Antrodoco, a town in the Abruzzi region of Italy. His businesses included coal imports, banking, chesnut farms, and general stores, for which he produced wine and various cordials.〔http://www.pallini.it/sito/eng/img/pdf/history.pdf〕 In 1917, the family moved the business to Rome. There it expanded its liquor production, finding success with Mistra', an anise-based liqueur. This is where they began producing handcrafted Romana Sambuca. 〔http://www.pallini.it/sito/eng/img/pdf/history.pdf〕 In 1962, Giorgio and Nicola Pallini (Virgilio's sons) foresaw the growth potential of Romana Sambuca and decided to move the company out of the centre of Rome to a larger, modern facility, where it remains today. Living in New York in the 1970s, Virgilio Pallini Jr (current President) negotiated distribution in the US. The effect of this was an explosion of Sambuca Romana. Romana, as well as Disaronno and Galliano, was among the first Italian liqueurs to penetrate US market. After a few years Romana became the category leader with volumes around 300,000 9 liter case. Today the brand is owned by Diageo, but Pallini remains the exclusive producer. In 1999, the Pallini family introduced Pallini Limoncello, based off a traditional family recipe. Two more flavors, Pallini Raspicello and Pallini Peachello were also put into production. After 10 years Pallini Limoncello is the no. 1 premium Limoncello brand in the world and is distributed worldwide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pallini Limoncello」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
