Sardinian White Myrtle 926 Rau Distilleries 70cl 30%

Origin: Sardinia, Sassari (Italy)

Raw materials: Young leaves and fresh sprouts of Sardinian Myrtle (Myrtus communis) hand-picked in the wild.

Color: Light straw yellow with bright greenish highlights that tend to take on golden hues over time in the bottle.

Nose: Intensely aromatic and distinctively herbaceous, dominated by balsamic notes of Mediterranean scrub, pine resin, eucalyptus, and delicate citrus undertones.

Taste: Fresh, dry, and decidedly more vegetal than the classic red version. The entry is soft but immediately balanced by a savory note and a slightly bitter, refreshing finish that cleanses the palate.

Alcohol content: 30% vol.

Serving temperature: Serve strictly chilled at a temperature between 2°C and 4°C, preferably in small, pre-chilled glasses.

Pairings: An excellent post-meal digestif, it pairs beautifully with almond-based dry pastries, traditional Sardinian desserts like seadas, blue or medium-aged cheeses, and white chocolate.

Terroir: The leaves and sprouts come from wild plants that grow lushly in the granitic and siliceous soils of the Gallura and Sassari areas, exposed to the Mistral winds and rich in marine essential oils.

Production: Cold hydroalcoholic infusion of selected leaves and sprouts only. The process involves slow maceration in pure alcohol to extract the most volatile and fresh aromatic fractions, followed by filtering and the addition of a water and sugar syrup, without the use of any artificial colors or flavors.

Description: The White Myrtle from the '926 selection by Rau Distillerie is the finest and most vegetal expression of Sardinian liqueur production. Unlike red myrtle, this variant utilizes the aromatic heritage enclosed in the plant's leaves, offering a sensory profile that is strongly balsamic and less cloying. The expert craftsmanship of the Rau family ensures a crystalline liqueur where the sweetness of the sugar never overwhelms the natural aromatic and bitter thrust of the native botanicals. An alternative of great elegance for lovers of premium digestifs.
