Villa Massa Amaretto
The wintery sister of limoncello. An intense almond liqueur made with real almonds from Sicily, sweet and smooth, with a long almond finish. At 30%, it's delicious over ice or in an Amaretto Sour.
Almonds from Sicily, made in Sorrento
Villa Massa is best known for its limoncello from Sorrento, but it also makes an amaretto. While the limoncello is all about lemon peel, this liqueur is all about almonds: it's made with real almonds from Sicily. The island combines warm temperatures and sunshine all year round with fertile volcanic soil, producing almonds with a distinctive flavor and aroma.
The result is an intense, flavorful almond liqueur that's sweet and smooth, with a long almond finish. At 30% alcohol, it has the same strength as Villa Massa Limoncello and is stronger than you might expect from a sweet liqueur. Be careful if you have an allergy: it contains nuts.
