Mirto

The Liquorificio Rospini has a female-driven history, born in fact from the entrepreneurial spirit of Giovanna Ruospo, who turned her passion into an artisan liqueur distillery â it is here that Mirto is produced

Mirto

Passion, as we know, can move mountains, in this case the sea! We are in the land of Puglia, in the magical Polignano a Mare, a true jewel of the Apulian coast. Here Giovanna has always sought out wild herbs from the Mediterranean coastal scrub. To delight her guests and dinner companions, these herbs have always been used to craft liqueurs rich in the aromas and scents of the land. Over the years, research and experimentation continued, and appreciation grew steadily. As Giovanna refined her liqueurs, she realised the time had come to introduce her products to a wider audience and meet the growing demand. From its very first batches, Mirto met with great success and appreciation. It is one of the distilleryâs flagship products. We make it from fresh myrtle berries. We harvest them between Ginosa Marina and other areas in the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Lecce. A perfect after-dinner drink, with an intense Mediterranean fragrance! Sweet and lingering with its exotic hints, enveloping. Mediterranean excellence! The methods are traditional and strictly handcrafted, enhancing the fruitâs qualities and allowing it to give us all its intensity. With its deep ruby colour, it releases balsamic notes on the nose. Smooth and enveloping on the palate with a lovely lingering finish. It pairs wonderfully with a chocolate dessert. Ideal as a digestif. Perfect to enjoy on ice! Discover the true taste of myrtle, treat yourself to a moment of pure pleasure, a journey through the aromas of the Mediterranean. Offering myrtle liqueur to your guests is a symbol of hospitality and sharing. Myrtle is the plant sacred to Aphrodite, according to mythology, the goddess of beauty and love covered herself with myrtle branches to hide her nakedness after her birth.
