Santa Maria, an exciting new name in premium handcrafted liqueurs, has taken the UK by storm with the launch of its Limoncello Original and Crema di Limoncello.

Santa Maria brings the vibrant spirit of the Amalfi Coast to Liverpool with handcrafted limoncello made from the finest IGP-certified lemons.

Every bottle is meticulously developed and produced in Liverpool under the expert guidance of Giovanni Pillitteri, an artisan whose family has perfected the art of limoncello-making over generations.

His dedication ensures each batch captures the vibrant spirit of Italy.

Each Santa Maria bottle, priced at £28.95, is crafted with sustainability in mind. Made from fluted glass in Verona, Italy, the bottles are 100% recyclable.

Setting a new standard

The firm is driven by the vision of co-founder Arran Campolucci-Bordi, owner of Casa Italia, one of Liverpool's most trusted and long-established restaurants.

He said: "Our mission is to redefine the UK limoncello market by setting a new standard for quality at an affordable price.

"Too often, limoncello is misrepresented by low-quality products that fail to showcase its true potential.

"We want to change people's perception and show them what exceptional limoncello should really taste like."

Perfect for any festive occasion

Santa Maria Limoncello Original offers bold, zesty flavours with a smooth, refined finish.

At the same time, the Crema di Limoncello delights with its velvety texture and hints of raw vanilla, all while lactose-free.

Both liqueurs are perfect for sipping neat or elevating cocktails, making them standout choices for any festive occasion.

Growing success

Santa Maria's success continues to grow, with its products now available at Casa Italia and select bars and restaurants in Southport and Liverpool, ensuring more people can enjoy a true taste of Italy.

With a successful launch already under its belt, Santa Maria is applying for a Best Taste Award in 2025, solidifying its place as a brand to watch in the premium liqueur market.

Additionally, the business is preparing to open a dedicated Santa Maria Bar inside the iconic Casa Italia in Liverpool restaurant.

The bar will showcase its signature drinks and create a hub for Italian-inspired experiences.
