Vincotto is an elixir, a sweet, velvety
vinegar, with subtle overtones of spices, grapes, prunes.
Made from two varieties of grapes, Negroamaro and Black Malvasia grapes. The grapes are dried on the vine or over wooden frames, then the must is boiled gently until it reduces to one fifth of its initial volume. The syrup is then poured into aged oak barrels along with the mother, or starter, of the vinegar. It is aged in these barrels for a minimum of four years to allow the taste to
develop.
Vincotto is a natural and versatile product. Used as a condiment or as a base for a sauce it will enhance and compliment the flavours of salads, meat or fish recipes and
desserts.
Vincotto is free of colouring, preservatives, sugar and alcohol.
Available in three original and five condiment flavours
