I saw these berries in the countryside of Rome and later found out what is it.“Mirto is a liqueur popular in Sardinia and in Corsica, obtained from the myrtle plant through the alcoholic maceration of the berries or a compound of berries and leaves. Myrtle grows freely in Sardinia.
Mirto rosso (red) is made with the berries and is sweet.
Mirto bianco (white) is made from the leaves.”
