Nicola Pallini founded a successful trading business in Italy in the late 1800s. His descendants expanded into wine and spirits, eventually launching Pallini Limoncello in 2001. Micaela Pallini improved the quality by sourcing fresh Amalfi Coast lemons rather than cheaper frozen lemons. The Amalfi Coast and Sorrento regions have protected status for their lemons, which are used to make high quality limoncello according to traditional methods. Pallini uses organic sfusato amalfitano lemons grown in the unique terrain and climate of the Amalfi Coast to produce their premium limoncello.
