Sorrento Coast
2
The Sorrento Coast is a jagged promontory that
shores up the southern end of the Bay of Naples.
This peninsula of hilly terrain ends abruptly at
a cliff that plunges sheerly down to the
Mediterranean sea. The entire coastline around
Sorrento was a Greek colony during the period of
Magna Grecia, the legendary site of Homer's
sirens, before being conquered by the Romans who
enjoyed the area as a summer playground. It has
maintained a reputation as an exclusive resort
destination ever since. It boasts a mild climate,
gorgeous panoramas and citrus-scented air.   From
the Sorrento Coast, views sweep along the bay to
Naples, Mount Vesuvius and across the water to
the island of Capri.

Vico Equense is a coastal town and comune in the
Metropolitan City of Naples. Vico Equense is part
of the greater Bay of Naples metropolitan area
and is a tourist destination. Located on a tuff
cliff, it is relatively close to the ferry to the
island of Capri, the volcano Vesuvius, the Monte
Faito and the ancient town of Pompeii. The town
is bordered by Castellammare di Stabia, Meta,
Piano di Sorrento, Pimonte and Positano

the pink facade of the former Cathedral of Santa

Chiesa dellAnnunziata Vicos clifftop former
cathedral is the only Gothic church on the
Sorrento Peninsula. Little remains of the
original 14th-century structure other than the
lateral windows near the main altar and a few
arches in the aisles. In fact, most of what you
see today, including the chipped pink-and-white
facade, is 17th-century baroque

The portrayal of the lemon in mosaics and
paintings that came to light with the excavations
of Pompeii shows their common use in the
Neapolitan area since ancient times. What is
certain is that this citrus fruit has
acclimatised incredibly well to the land in
Campania and has prospered marvellously, until
becoming at one with it. So much so that it would
be impossible to imagine the Amalfi and Sorrento
Coasts without their charming, beautiful and
extremely fragrant lemon gardens

Traditionally, limoncello is made from
the zest of Femminello St. Teresa lemons, also
known as Sorrento or Sfusato lemons. Lemon zest,
or peels without the pith, is steeped
in rectified spirit (most commonly grappa, but
vodka may also be used) until the oil is
released. The resulting yellow liquid is then
mixed with simple syrup. Varying the
sugar-to-water ratio and the temperature affects
the clarity, viscosity, and flavor. Opaque
limoncellos are the result of spontaneous
emulsification (otherwise known as the ouzo
effect) of the sugar syrup and extracted lemon
oils

Grown and harvested on the steep, rocky slopes of
the Sorrento Peninsula, these unique species of
lemon flowers up to 4 times a year, allowing for
a constant harvest. A whopping 60 of all
Sorrento Lemons harvested in Italy are used to
produce Limoncello
