Vincotto is produced by the Calogiuri family in Puglia in Italy. It is derived from the 'musts' of Negroamaro and Malvasia grapes, which have been left to wither on the vines for 30 days. The pulped grapes are cooked for a long time to reduce the mix to one-fifth of its volume, before aging in oak barrels for up to four years. Vincotto has a sweet, sour flavour reminiscent of a sweeter, less complex balsamic. It is alcohol free and has no colourings or preservatives, and it is also high in polyphenols beneficial to health. Vincotto is traditionally used as an accompaniment to biscuits and desserts, but is also suitable for flavouring meats and salads.
