Zedda Piras Mirto (Rosso) Liqueur 750ml

Production:
Zedda Piras Mirto Rosso is an iconic Sardinian liqueur crafted from the wild red myrtle berries (Mirto) that flourish across the rugged Sardinian landscape. The berries are hand-picked and macerated in alcohol to extract their natural flavors, followed by a careful blending process. Zedda Piras, a renowned producer of traditional Sardinian spirits, emphasizes authenticity and craftsmanship in every bottle. This liqueur is a true reflection of Sardinia’s terroir, offering an earthy and aromatic experience with deep roots in the island’s traditions.

ABV: 32%

Tasting Notes:
Zedda Piras Mirto Rosso boasts a rich, dark red hue, and its aroma is intense, with notes of wild berries, herbs, and a hint of balsamic freshness. On the palate, it is full-bodied, offering a sweet yet slightly bitter flavor profile that balances red berry sweetness with herbal complexity. There’s a pleasant aftertaste with lingering notes of spices, earth, and a subtle bitterness from the myrtle berries.

Pairing:
This liqueur is a perfect after-dinner digestif, often served chilled or over ice. It pairs beautifully with rich desserts such as dark chocolate, fruit tarts, or aged cheeses. For a more traditional pairing, enjoy it with Sardinian pastries or almond-based sweets, allowing the bitter-sweet profile of the liqueur to contrast with the sugary flavors of the dessert.

Serving Tips:
Serve Zedda Piras Mirto Rosso well-chilled, either neat or over ice. For a Sardinian twist, try adding a splash of soda or tonic water to make a refreshing aperitif. Its unique flavor also makes it a great addition to cocktails, particularly those that play on its bitter-sweet complexity, or in a twist on a classic Negroni or Manhattan.
