Zedda Piras Monte Arcosu Red Myrtle Liqueur 70cl

Myrtle is Sardinia's most iconic liqueur. Zedda Piras's red myrtle is made from the berries of the myrtle plant, which is widespread on the Italian island. Harvesting myrtle berries from wild shrubs is a true tradition in Sardinia, a ritual that always begins toward the end of November and lasts about forty days. Once bagged, the berries are taken to Alghero, where they are carefully selected and washed at the Zedda Piras facilities. They are then left to macerate in a solution of alcohol and water for nearly three months. The spirit is then diluted with additional water and sugar, but without any coloring or additives. The connection to the land of origin is emphasized not only by the use of genuine ingredients, but also by the packaging. The bottle proudly displays the Sardinian coat of arms of the Four Moors. To enjoy it at its best, serve Zedda Piras's Mirto Rosso very cold, iced, after dinner.
