Grape Vin Cotto from Calabria

I was so happy when I found this product in the assortment. This ingredient is required in a Christmas cookie recipe passed down from my nonna (Pitte di San Martino). This was the first year I could make the recipe with all typical ingredients and it turned out great.

I make my own vin cotto but I like to have a bottle or two of this brand on hand just in case I don’t have enough. This tastes just like the vin cotto I’ve been making for years.

I did not personally purchase this. It was given to me. We used to make this when we made wine but unfortunately no longer. It was so nice to give this a go in my chestnut cookies. A labor of love. It’s so nice to know I can come here and purchase vino cotto without all the work! Thank you for bringing this product to us. It was wonderful and I look forward to purchasing it. Only wish the bottle was larger!

It is also a great topping for vanilla or cannoli ice cream or poured over fresh cut up fruit. This is one way I remember a relative in Calabria using it. Can't wait to try on fresh peaches. A nice pleasant tasting flavor. If it will last that long! Or I'll just order another. :)

Thank you for helping the next generation make Cartedelle!!

I bought the Fig version of this. Very flavorful but a bit too sweet and thin consistency. Not quite like Nonna's. I also bought 2 packeges of the Cartellate to put the syrup on. They were very yummy. One package was great. The other was more broken up. Glad I bought 2 packages.

Excellent product very satisfied and recommend it
