Mirto has a purple-red/brown colour which changes depending on its age. It has an intense aroma of eucalyptus, juniper, hazelnut and citrus fruit. The taste is sweet with a slightly sour back palate.
Vinification: Mirto Benalunga is produced by immersing the Mirto berries into cleaning tanks and then separating the skins from the juice. A hydro-alcoholic solution is then added to the maceration tank to infuse with the juice. It macerates for no longer than 4 months in order to extract essential oils and colour. After the fruit is racked, the liquor is aged, filtered then bottled.
