Curiosities
The Filu 'e Ferru' distilled liquor, called "Acquavite di Sardegna" in Italian, has Sardinian
origins. Translated literally, its name means "iron wire". The name dates back to a couple
of centuries ago and comes from the method of hiding the distilled liquor from law enforcement
bodies in the Prohibition period, when the spirit was produced clandestinely. The containers
with the distilled liquor were hidden under the ground. To be able to later identify
their correct position, they were tied using one or more iron wires, with one end coming off
the ground.
