A tribute to Sardinian tradition, the Mirto Bianco '926 is born from a historical family recipe kept by the Distilleria Rau, founded in 1926. Produced artisanally, it is made from wild myrtle leaves hand-picked in the unspoiled countryside of Sardinia. The slow hydroalcoholic infusion, free of added aromas, enhances the authenticity of the raw materials. With a herbaceous, fresh, and elegant taste, with balsamic and citrus notes, it is ideal as a natural digestif or paired with desserts and cheeses. Each bottle reflects the passion for the territory and the sustainable philosophy of the Rau family. A liqueur that tells almost a century of Sardinian craftsmanship.

Rau

Since 1926, the Distilleria Rau has been the custodian of a heritage made of passion, identity, and a connection to its land. Born as a small laboratory for typical Sardinian liquors, today it is a modern company that continues to produce excellence while following tradition. The beating heart is the historic distillery, where masterpieces such as the famous Mirto RAU, the prized Gin GENESI, grappa, and bitters made from local raw materials, hand-picked and processed according to ancient family recipes, are born.
Alongside the distillery, Rau has created the Tenuta l’Ariosa: a winemaking project that tells the soul of North-Western Sardinia, among wind, Mediterranean scrub, and stone. Here, native vines give life to authentic, mineral, and intense wines, capable of expressing the wild and fascinating nature of the island.
Completing the world of Rau, is the Pasticceria Tre Janas, where every sweet is a gesture of love: ancient recipes, selected raw materials, and artisanal creativity tell of a sweet, authentic, and timeless Sardinia.
On Vino45, a reference point for those seeking selected Italian excellence, the products of Rau represent the essence of a Sardinia that moves you with every sip and every bite.

Color: pale straw yellow, bright and clear. The brilliance of the liquid suggests careful artisanal processing and the absence of artificial aromas.
Bouquet: fresh and fine, dominated by herbaceous notes of freshly picked myrtle leaves. Elegant balsamic nuances and citrus hints emerge, reminiscent of lemon zest and Mediterranean scrub. The aromatic profile is natural, harmonious, and well-balanced.
Taste: soft and balanced, with a fresh and vegetal entry. The herbaceous notes blend with balsamic hints and slight citrus perceptions, offering a pleasant bitter sensation on the finish. Medium-long persistence, clean and refined, inviting a second tasting.
