Built on lemons,
funded by conviction.
Romancello has grown from a founder's kitchen to Michelin-starred wine lists without a penny of outside money. We're now opening the door to a small number of investors who want in early.
A category of one.
Romancello is a premium apéritif built on IGP-protected Menton lemons — a protected designation with no substitute — and produced at a fully sustainable UK distillery. It's positioned deliberately against Aperol and Campari: lower in sugar, lower in ABV, and built for the aperitif moment rather than as a sweet digestif.
The brand has been entirely founder-funded from day one. Every listing, every feature, and every bottle sold has happened without a distributor, a salesforce, or outside capital — which means the traction below was won the hard way, and it means an investor's money goes to work in a business that's already proven it can grow without subsidy.
Proof, not projections.
We're structuring our current round to be eligible for SEIS relief, giving qualifying UK investors meaningful tax advantages on an early-stage consumer brand. Full terms and eligibility are shared directly with interested investors — get in touch below.
Let's talk.
If you back early-stage consumer brands and want the deck, the numbers, or just a conversation — reach out directly. We're happy to send a bottle too; it explains the product better than we can.
