Crafted by the historic Corsican house L.N. Mattei, founded in 1872 in Bastia, this traditional liqueur showcases one of the island’s most emblematic wild berries: the red myrtle. Once used for its medicinal properties by ancient civilizations, myrtle remains a symbol of Corsican maquis and identity. The berries are hand-harvested in the heart of the scrubland, then slowly macerated to extract their full aromatic potential.
This deep ruby-red liqueur reveals intense aromas of ripe berries, herbal undertones, and a subtle bitterness. On the palate, it’s velvety, round, and slightly tannic, offering flavours of candied fruit, dried herbs, and warm spice, with a long, elegant finish.
Best served chilled as a digestif, or poured over ice for a more refreshing experience. For a pairing rooted in Corsican tradition, enjoy with L’Exception du Maquis—a sheep’s milk cheese covered in herbs from the maquis. The herbaceous and fruity notes of both products complement each other beautifully, highlighting the island’s terroir in every bite and sip.
