Concentrated in its dark ruby, almost black shades, the Mirto Ricetta Storica from Silvio Carta distillery is a distillate that encapsulates the essence of Sardinian tradition. It is made from the meticulous selection of wild myrtle berries handpicked in the lush shrublands of the island. The infusion process follows the historic Sardinian recipe, respecting the timing and techniques passed down through generations, which allow for the extraction of all the essential oils and intense aromas of the berries.

On the nose, Mirto Ricetta Storica opens with deep notes of wild berries and subtle balsamic accents, leading to a palate characterized by a robust and enveloping taste. The myrtle notes are skillfully intertwined with nuances of aromatic herbs and hints of spices, creating a complex but extremely pleasant flavor profile.

On the palate, it is smooth and persistent, with an impeccable balance between sweetness and acidity that makes this liquor not just a perfect after-meal drink, but also an excellent companion for meditation. Traditionally served cold, Silvio Carta’s Mirto Ricetta Storica reveals its versatility also as an ingredient for innovative cocktails or to enhance chocolate or fruit desserts.

Each bottle is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, intended for lovers of quality liqueurs who seek an authentic experience deeply rooted in the place of origin. This myrtle is not just a liquor, but a journey into the flavors and soul of Sardinia.
