The Caloguiri family has been producing Vincotto since 1825. Vincotto Original is a velvety liquid made by cooking and reducing the grape must from two distinct grape varietals, Malvasia and Negroamaro, for a period of fifteen hours. It is then aged for four years in oak barrels, allowing the taste and consistency to develop. While there are some overtones of a fine Balsamic, this elixir must never be confused with Balsamic vinegar. Vincotto has nuances of prunes, spices and heady grape components and is not as woody as Balsamic. Use Vincotto as a condiment, drizzling sparsely over game, roasted meats, salads, aged cheeses and certain desserts. Vincotto is a favorite secret ingredient of chefs for use in desserts, and/or with after dinner cheese courses, anywhere you might imagine employing a shiny dark drizzle of an exotic sauce that tastes sweetly of years gone by. This is a natural product without any alcohol, colorants or preservatives
