Vicario Mirto Liqueur
Vicario Mirto is a myrtle berry liqueur from Vicario Spirits, the two-country project of Renato Vicario and Janette Wesley, who run organic farms in his native Italy and her native South Carolina and who built the brand from Vicario's book Italian Liqueurs, written after years spent recreating traditional recipes. Mirto is the classic liqueur of Sardinia, where the tradition is said to have arrived with Gallura bandits who brought it over from Corsica, and myrtle itself was sacred to Aphrodite and a symbol of victory in ancient Greece. Vicario's version is unusually transparent about its making: the myrtle berries grow along the surviving walls of a medieval hospital at the family farm, Villa Sant'Andrea in Cortona, Tuscany, where they are hand-harvested in autumn and macerated in 100% non-GMO neutral wheat spirit, and the macerate is then shipped to South Carolina to be pressed, filtered and bottled at 38% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The producer calls it a refreshing herbal liqueur, with black tea, cinnamon and a faint bitter orange note, in keeping with the Sardinian habit of serving mirto chilled after a meal.
