Sardinian Mirto Liquor: A Traditional Delight
The renowned Sardinian Mirto is a symbol of traditional liquor. The unique flavor and color of this liquor are derived from the berries of the Myrtus communis plant, which boasts bluish-purple berries resulting in a distinctive drink. The organoleptic characteristics of the liquor stem from the fruit’s peel that imparts color to the beverage. The pulp’s tannins, delivering an astringent taste, along with volatile compounds contribute to its flavor profile.
