Bresca Dorada Mirto Rosso 0.7L
Mirto Rosso is Sardinia's most famous liqueur — originating from the rural tradition of steeping red myrtle berries in alcohol after the autumn harvest. Bresca Dorada from Cagliari is one of the few producers who still work according to this tradition: ripe myrtle berries, Sardinian honey, no artificial flavorings.
Deep ruby red in the glass. On the nose, aromas of wild berries, resin, and a subtle herbal note. Sweet on the palate, but with a pleasant bitterness in the finish—the honey rounds it out without being overpowering.
Classically served well chilled as a digestif after a long meal. Pairs well with Pecorino Sardo, dark chocolate, or almond biscuits. Also interesting as a base for a Spritz with dry Prosecco.

Quick answers
How sweet is the Mirto Rosso — is it a liqueur or more of a bitter?
It lies in between: clearly sweet on the palate, rounded off with Sardinian honey, but the finish brings a clear bitterness from the myrtle berries. Not a liqueur that flatters — rather one that lingers.
How is Mirto Rosso best drunk?
Classically pure and well-chilled as a digestif — best served straight from the freezer, which makes it silky and emphasizes the fruit. For those who like it lighter: as a spritz with dry Prosecco.
What does the Mirto Rosso pair with when eating?
As a finish to Pecorino Sardo, dark chocolate, or almond biscuits. The bitterness cuts well through fat and sweetness — it works where an Amaro would be too tart.
At what temperature do I serve it?
Cold — ideally 30–60 minutes before serving in the freezer. At room temperature, the sweetness comes to the fore too strongly, and the freshness of the myrtle is lost.
How long does an opened bottle keep?
Thanks to the alcohol content of 30% ABV and the honey, it remains stable for several months after opening — best stored cool and dark, then it retains aroma and color well.
The Distillery
The name holds the story: Bresca is Sardinian for the wax honeycomb that encloses the golden nectar. Honey was the first love of Bresca Dorada, and it began in 1985 in the landscape around Muravera in Sardinia.
Their home is an untouched valley of 6.5 hectares between the sea and the mountains. Sun, the scent of blossoms, and dancing bees define this land, and the reeds rustle in the wind. The people there see themselves as farmers and producers, but above all as guardians: every step from the fruit to the seal is intended to preserve what the earth provides.
Bringing authentic Sardinian products to the table is their goal. You can find four of their products in our range.
