Mirto Ricetta Storica is a journey into the history of Sardinia. Every little sip is a step among the bushes of Mediterranean maquis towards cliffs overlooking the sea, with sensations in the mouth that take your breath away. A jewel of Sardinia with very deep roots, recognized as a traditional product with the Law Decree no. 173 in 1998. Mirto was a homemade product on the island since the 19th century: it was made by macerating ripe berries in a mixture of spirit and water. At the end of the maceration period, sugar or honey was added to the extracted liqueur in order to sweeten it. The Silvio Carta company decided to produce myrtle without considering production costs but focusing on quality only. The historical recipe is simple: good ingredients in the right quantities, a lot of patience, passion and "Mirto Silvio Carta - Ricetta storica" becomes a unique and overwhelming product. It would be a shame not to try it. It is best served iced by keeping bottles in the freezer.
【Tasting Notes】
Appearance: Intense dark brown with bright, purple tinges. Aroma: Multiple aromas. Apart from the intense myrtle, it is possible to distinguish other aromas of the maquis, aromatic herbs, bay leaves, sage and plum jam. Taste: All these scents mix together in an elegant and enveloping myrtle hug that stands out in the mouth, dominated by the plant notes, in a very refined sweet-and-sour arm wrestling leading to a dry ending rich in Mediterranean aftertaste.
