Mirto Verde by Bresca Dorada The Herbal Soul of Sardinia
Mirto Verde by Bresca Dorada is a refined Sardinian liqueur, crafted from the infusion of freshly picked myrtle leaves and flowers, hand-harvested from the island’s unspoiled areas, particularly in the stunning Sette Fratelli region. This artisanal process enhances the herbal and balsamic notes of the plant, offering a unique and surprising take on traditional myrtle liqueur. The leaves are immediately macerated in pure alcohol for at least two months, ensuring a full extraction of their aromatic compounds. The infusion is then blended with sugar, water, and Sardinian honey—which accounts for up to 5% of the sweetener—adding a touch of natural smoothness and roundness to the liqueur. In the glass, it shines with a brilliant golden-green hue. The nose is greeted by delicate, enveloping aromas, ranging from fresh myrtle herbal notes to subtle floral and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is balanced and long-lasting, with an aromatic and flavorful finish that lingers elegantly. Best enjoyed chilled after dinner, to fully appreciate its refined bouquet, or as an ingredient in innovative cocktails, where its complexity can elevate creative and modern mixes.
