Wild Sardinia Mirto 750ml

This Mirto originates from an ancient and closely guarded Sardinian recipe, handed from generation to generation. Hand-picked wild myrtle berries are infused for four months in a mixture of water and alcohol. More water and sugar are added before bottling. Wild Sardinia Mirto uses 700 grams of berries per liter versus most Mirtos which only use 300 grams. The color is ruby red and dense. The nose has balsamic and Mediterranean plants notes, myrtle jam and essential oil (present in the plant). The palate is sweet, warm and it is east to get notes of fruits mixed with delicate bitter notes and a slight tannic aftertaste. Best served on the rocks, in cocktails, or over ice cream.
