This one might be seen as an exception. It hardly fits into wine memoirs, Memoriavinia. Indeed, Mirto is a liqueur and not made out of grapes: it is a distilled beverage obtained from the myrtle plant, a berry.
Mirto di Sardegna is, notwithstanding, a superb dessert "wine" to rival my own homeland's great Porto's and Madeira's.
I had it for dessert in Lisbon last week, dinning at the home of my good friends Patricia Camacho and Rui Pregal da Cunha. We tasted it out of a beautifully decorated blue bottle of Bresca Dorada and it is a must remember. Hence to display here at our Memoriavinia.
