The glorious Amalfi Coast in southern Italy is one of life’s wonders. Suspended magically between sea and sky, the coastline is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its “great physical beauty and natural diversity.” The history of the region is pretty rich too – since the Middle Ages people have defied the odds by cultivating the steep hills with terraced vineyards and citrus groves. The jewel in the Amalfi crown would be the charming and fragrant lemon gardens, whose sweet aromatics permeate the air. This citrus fruit has acclimatized incredibly well to the land and has prospered marvelously, until becoming at one with it. One of the regional specialities made with the local lemons is Malfy Con Limone. This Italian gin uses a mix of lemon peel from both the Amalfi coast and Sicily to create a citrus heavy extract, that is then distilled with Tuscan juniper, coriander, cassia, licorice, grapefruit and lemon peel.
