Search on AmazonDiscover the Unique Sardinian Bitter Murgia
Originally created as a digestive, the Sardinian bitter Murgia, infused with aloe, is akin to a fernet. With a high alcohol content (45%), it boasts an aggressive taste that quickly dissipates without leaving an aftertaste. It cleanses the palate of any lingering unpleasant flavors, leaving your mouth perfectly neutral.
The blend comprises over 25 aromas, all meticulously crafted from natural ingredients. The founder, Gennaro Murgia, developed it as a digestive remedy due to his pharmaceutical background. Initially prepared for family consumption within the Murgia household, it wasn’t until after the last war that his grandson, Gennaro Murgia II, began its commercial distribution despite initially despising its labor-intensive preparation process. However, its overwhelming success compelled him to continue production.
- Production Techniques:
- Cold transformation through mechanical blending of infusions, hydric solutions, and alcoholic beverages using top-quality alcohol and granulated sugar.
- Gastronomic Pairings:
- Maintaining a loyal following over time, many enjoy diluting Murgia in iced water for a refreshing drink. After a hearty meal, it acts as a healing punch for the stomach. Some Germans even mix it with beer for a unique twist.
