Limoncello Spritz

With Seafood, Limoncello Spritz has enough citrus, sweet and sparkling to hold its place beside food. It carries a lean, light body and feels light in strength. Compared with Foxy Lady, it leans more tart. It rewards attention to the change from the first flavour to the finish, not only the headline ingredients. If you want to compare it, look next at Foxy Lady; for food, the catalogue starts with Seafood and Olives.
