Mirto di Sardegna Rosso by Bresca Dorada
Mirto di Sardegna Rosso by Bresca Dorada is a traditional Sardinian liqueur, capturing the essence of the island. Made from the infusion of wild myrtle berries, hand-picked from Sardinia’s most pristine areas, this liqueur boasts a rich and enveloping aromatic profile.
The berries undergo a three-month maceration in pure alcohol, ensuring a complete extraction of their aromatic compounds while preserving their complexity and depth. The infusion is then blended with sugar, water, and Sardinian honey, which accounts for up to 10% of the sweetener, adding natural smoothness and roundness.
With its deep, intense red color, Mirto di Sardegna Rosso releases a fruity and spicy bouquet, where wild berries, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle balsamic nuances harmonize beautifully. On the palate, it is balanced and persistent, with the perfect interplay of sweetness, freshness, and warming alcohol.
Best enjoyed after dinner as a digestif, served chilled or ice-cold, it also makes for an exceptional ingredient in innovative cocktails, pairing particularly well with bourbon or gin for a distinctive twist.
