A love letter to
Menton lemons.
Romancello is a unique apéritif created as a love letter to the French Riviera, its farmers, and the way of life that inspired it. Built with the modern drinker in mind — lower sugar, lower ABV — it's the taste of the Mediterranean without compromise.
At the heart of every bottle is the Citron de Menton IGP, the only French lemon to hold Protected Geographical Indication status. Rounder, more fragrant, and less acidic than any other variety, it's a fruit the world's best chefs have long known about. Now it's in your glass.

A lemon apéritif, not a limoncello.
Romancello is a premium lemon apéritif made with IGP Menton lemons from the French Riviera. At 22% ABV, with less sugar than a traditional limoncello and a fresh, herbal finish, it's made to be drunk before dinner — over ice, as a two-ingredient spritz with soda, or in a Negroni or Martini.
