Sardinian Red Myrtle Liqueur 926 Rau Distilleries 70cl 30%

Origin: Sardinia, Sassari (Italy)

Raw materials: Wild Sardinian myrtle berries (Myrtus communis) harvested exclusively by hand from wild plants.

Color: Dark, impenetrable ruby red, with intense violet reflections that tend toward garnet with aging in the bottle.

Aroma: Ethereal, balsamic, and persistent, dominated by the unmistakable aroma of fresh myrtle berries, notes of Mediterranean scrub, myrtle leaf, and slight citrus nuances.

Taste: Fresh, characterized by a distinct yet balanced fruity sweetness that blends with a pleasantly tannic, astringent, and aromatic note typical of wild berries. The finish is clean, balsamic, and persistent.

Alcohol content: 30% vol.

Serving temperature: Preferably frozen (2-4°C) or very cold to enhance its digestive properties and balsamic nuances.

Pairings: Perfect as an after-dinner digestif. It pairs beautifully with traditional Sardinian dry pastries (amaretti, papassini), dark chocolate, almond-based desserts, vanilla ice cream, or served alongside an espresso.

Terroir: Wild myrtle bushes grow in the pristine forests and along the wind-swept coasts of Sardinia. The granitic soil and typical Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild, briny winters, imbue the berries with unique essential oils.

Production: Cold hydroalcoholic infusion. Wild berries, rigorously hand-picked at the perfect degree of ripeness, are infused in pure alcohol. The process takes place without the addition of preservatives, artificial flavorings, or colorings, following the traditional Sardinian recipe of the Rau family.

Description: The '926 Red Myrtle from Rau Distillerie represents the liquid synthesis of Sardinian traditions. Created to celebrate the founding year of the Sassari distillery, this liqueur is obtained exclusively from the cold infusion of hand-picked wild berries. The total absence of chemical additives or colorings preserves the organoleptic integrity of the raw material. On the palate, the balance between the sugar content and the natural tannic and balsamic return of the berry makes it a benchmark among typical regional liqueurs, ideal for those seeking the authenticity of Sardinia in a glass.
