Mirto
Mirto is a unique liqueur made from the berries of the Myrtle plant. Originating on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, this much-cherished drink is considered an important element of Sardinian tradition, and has even been granted its own denomination, Mirto di Sardegna. Myrtle is one of the most distinctive Mediterranean plants growing on the island, and has long been recognized for its healing properties, while the ancient Greeks believed it was sacred to the goddess Aphrodite.
Today Mirto is produced from both the berries (mirto rosso) and the leaves (mirto bianco) of the Myrtle plant. The Argiolas winery produces a violet-colored liqueur with bittersweet, herbal aromas. Mirto is often served as an after-dinner digestivo, although many enjoy it for aperitivo before a meal.
