In homage to 1926, the year of foundation of the Rau Distillery, the Mirto Rosso ‘926 embodies all the Sardinian tradition in an intense and authentic liqueur. Made with only wild myrtle berries handpicked in the northwest of Sardinia, it is processed according to a craftsmanship process passed down through three generations. After careful cold maceration in pure alcohol, the liqueur slowly matures, releasing intense aromas of Mediterranean scrub, with balsamic and fruity notes. Free from colorants and artificial flavors, it is a natural, sincere, and identity-driven product. Perfect at the end of a meal, served cold or at room temperature, the Mirto Rosso ‘926 is the liquid heart of Sardinia, enclosed in an elegantly designed bottle that tells a story of family, passion, and territory.

Rau
Since 1926, Distilleria Rau has embodied passion, identity, and a strong family legacy. Born as a small artisanal lab for traditional Sardinian liqueurs, it has evolved into a modern company that still preserves its authentic roots. At the heart of Rau is the historic distillery, where Sardinian excellence takes shape daily: from the iconic Mirto RAU to the refined Gin GENESI, grappas, and herbal liqueurs—all crafted from local wild botanicals, hand-harvested and processed using family recipes.
Beyond distillation, Rau proudly established Tenuta l’Ariosa, a wine estate that captures the rugged soul of northwestern Sardinia. Here, native grapes are grown among sea breezes and stony soils, producing expressive wines with a strong territorial identity.
Completing the Rau universe is Pasticceria Tre Janas, where traditional Sardinian sweets become a form of art. Generational recipes and select ingredients come together to tell sweet, authentic stories of the island.
On Vino45, the trusted destination for curated Italian excellence, Rau’s creations bring the taste of Sardinia to your glass and table—genuine, rich, and unforgettable.
