Chelly

Italians are known for valuing and celebrating life, from spending time with family and friends, to enjoying beauty in all its forms – especially eating and drinking well.
Our founder’s cousin, Guiseppe Guerrieri, grew up outside of Rome and loved this Italian lifestyle. He celebrated it by making the “Guerrieri Family Limoncello” that had been passed down through the generations. He was beloved – and invited to every event to spread his delicious cheer.
Guiseppe emigrated to America. And when it came time, he shared his unique recipe with the newer Guerrieri generations. Everybody liked it, but time and shifting drink trends had put a little dent in the Guerrieri Family Limoncello.
It was time for Guiseppe to hand off the Limoncello recipe. In 2019, Nick Guerrieri began experimenting with it – and before long was again hearing that familiar exclamation heard in the old country: “This is some of the best stuff I’ve ever had!”
CHELLY was born. After more refinements – and several medals and awards – a punchier, more refreshing and lower-sugar version of the old classic emerged… reimagined to be enjoyed at any modern get-together.
