The Mirto Carta Rosso is a fascinating and intensely fragrant distillate that represents the quintessence of Sardinian tradition. Produced by the Carta company, known for its dedication to using the highest quality ingredients, this 70cl myrtle is a celebration of the rich traditions of the island.

The uniqueness of this liqueur lies in the careful selection of red myrtle berries, harvested in the pristine lands of Sardinia. After harvesting, the berries are macerated in pure alcohol to extract all the aromas and essential oils, following a traditional method that preserves the freshness and purity of the fruits.

The Mirto Carta Rosso presents itself with an intense red, almost ruby color, which invites tasting. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet where the essence of myrtle berries dominates, accompanied by notes of aromatic herbs that contribute to a surprisingly complex olfactory experience. On the palate, the liqueur is balanced, with a sweetness that is never cloying, followed by a pleasant and persistent bitter aftertaste that recalls the intrinsic characteristics of the fruit.

Perfect as a digestif after a rich meal, the Mirto Carta Rosso can be served cold to best enhance its qualities. It is also exceptional as a base for innovative cocktails, which aim to combine tradition with contemporary creativity.

Attention to sustainability and respect for the environment are other fundamental pillars for Carta, which does not use chemical additives in the production of its myrtle, ensuring a completely natural product. Each sip of this myrtle is an authentic journey into the heart of Sardinia, a sensory experience that connects those who taste it with the land and culture of this magnificent island.
