Vincotto (meaning cooked wine) is a velvety vinegar 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. During the third year of aging, figs and the wine vinegar are added to the original Vincotto. While there are some overtones of a fine Balsamic, this “elixir” must never be confused with Balsamic vinegar.
Gianni Calogiuri Vincotto Hot Pepper Vinegar is sweet and spicy. Its flavor comes from Italian grapes aged in oak barrels as well as Calabrian peperoncino peppers. Gianni Calogiuri Vincotto Hot Pepper Vinegar is aged for four years to achieve its unique flavor. Use to flavor meat, vegetables, or make a zingy vinaigrette dressing. No added dyes or sugars.
