Description

It was the early 1950s when Silvio Carta founded the eponymous company in Baratili San Pietro, immediately devoting himself to the most traditional of the local wine productions: Vernaccia di Oristano. An amber gold that embodies nobility and generosity, which immediately charms and conquers the palate.

The skilful vinification, the long resting in a barrel and the careful and loving care by the Maison Silvio Carta have made this incredible wine an authentic glory of Sardinian oenology.

Sixty years have passed since then, but Vernaccia still remains a family matter. But now there is more. After more than half a century, Silvio, together with his son Elio – the latter at the head since 1972 – still devote themselves to the production of the greater Vernaccia di Oristano DOC. However, thanks to a careful look towards innovation and the loving care of very deep passions, today the Silvio Carta company is also synonymous with Mirto ‘riserva’, London Dry GinVermouth and other typical spirits distributed all over the world as precious examples of an ancient and luxuriant land: today, the world smells of juniper, myrtle and citrus fruits from Sardinia thanks to the excellence of Silvio Carta.

Tasting Notes

On the palate it is dry but enveloping, decisive and inviting, with a very remarkable and concentrated bitter note with a persistent and very long finish all attributable to citrus.

An intense product, which presents itself as a protagonist in the bitter market. Wrapped in a label that smells of art, the Bitteroma Assoluto embodies the best hints of Sardinia and its herbs. Transversal and democratic in the combinations, the citrus finish and the predominant note of bitter make it perfect in mixology.

Suggestion: Simply perfect for an aperitif even alone or almost, served with ice, a slice of blood orange and a few drops of Angostura.
