Pallini company, is a family owned company, located in Rome, that produces world known spirits and syrups and it was founded by Mr. Nicola Pallini in a small village in the center of Italy, in 1875. They soon became famous for the quality of his Mistrà Pallini. Mistrà is a dry aniseed liqueur, generally drunk with coffee, on the rocks or with some water. In 1960 a brand new product was created that soon became the number 1 Sambuca in the US and many other markets: Romana Sambuca.
Following this huge success Pallini decided to change its range of products to move to something which potentially could have been bigger than Romana Sambuca. Pallini Limoncello was created and after 7 years of intense work it has become number 1 limoncello in the USA and Duty Free worldwide. Pallini Limoncello is a unique liqueur produced with lemons, coming from the Amalfi coast and this gives our limoncello its special citrus taste. Pallini Limoncello is our key product and we normally promote it together with our customers in more than 30 countries all over the world.
