Wild Sardinia Mirto 750ml
32609-od
$64.99 price per bottle
This Mirto originates from an ancient and closely guarded Sardinian recipe, handed from generation to generation. Hand-picked wild myrtle berries are infused for four months in a mixture of water and alcohol. More water and sugar are added before bottling. Wild Sardinia Mirto uses 700 grams of berries per liter versus most Mirtos which only use 300 grams. The color is ruby red and dense. The nose has balsamic and Mediterranean plants notes, myrtle jam and essential oil (present in the plant). The palate is sweet, warm and it is east to get notes of fruits mixed with delicate bitter notes and a slight tannic aftertaste. Best served on the rocks, in cocktails, or over ice cream.
| Wine maker notes |
| Wild Sardinia is located in the Province of Oristano in Sardinia; an area is known for it wild and pristine beaches. When the owner, Flavio Porcu, decided to start his project here, he knew what he wanted to create a product that reflects its location and is made from high-quality ingredients and has elegant packaging. Flavio Porcu, who was born and raised in Sardinia founded Wild Sardinia. While Flavio had worked in the wine and liquor industry most of his life, it wasn’t until he turned 46 that he decided to set out on his own and start what he dreamed of doing for years. Flavio knew from the beginning what he wanted. High-quality products, with elegant packaging and natural ingredients, were the key to his distillery’s success. In Flavio’s words, ”My greatest satisfaction is creating emotions through passion. I try to first put myself in the shoes of those who will taste it. I then try to create the product using all my experience and the love I have for my work, in hopes of passing on the values that my family, my land and my work have given me. ” Flavio partnered with Silvio Carta, a distillery on the island whose history went back more than half a century. Today the distillery is run by Elio Carta, son of the founder. Flavio was attracted by two key features of the distillery, its proximity to the Vernaccia vineyards, used for making first Wild Sardinia’s iconic Vermouth, and the company’s slogan Armonia della Natura or Harmony in Nature, which fit with Flavio’s plan of using all natural ingredients. |
