What is Vino Cotto di Montillo?

Vino Cotto di Montillo is made following our family’s century-old tradition which began in Calabria, Italy. It is a naturally sweet, cooked wine gourmet syrup. Its delicious, smooth flavor hints of figs and plums, yet is made from only one ingredient--premium wine grapes. Vino Cotto provides a natural source of energy and is high in antioxidants. It's true, sweetness that's both healthy and delicious!

Best Ways To Use It

• Vino Cotto is a condiment or ingredient that's used to enhance sweet or savory foods.
• Add red wine vinegar to it for an amazing balsamic vinegar that's as sweet or vinegary as you want it to taste. It can be used in all recipes that list balsamic vinegar as an ingredient. Next, add some classic olive oil for a great-tasting balsamic vinaigrette.
• Quickly turn Vino Cotto or your homemade balsamic vinegar into a scrumptious glaze. Pour either one over sauteed or roasted beef, chicken, lamb, wild game, salmon, shrimp or scallops just before it’s done cooking. Lower the heat and reduce to a caramelized sauce. Serve warm for a mouth-watering main course.
• Vino Cotto complements Italian-style charcuterie platters. Drizzle some over sliced hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano, Grana Padano, Caciocavallo, Crotonese or Parmesan. Try some with soft cheeses, too, like Mozzarella, Mascarpone or Bel Paese.
• Enhance your favorite vegetables, salads, yogurt, ice cream, pies, cheesecake, fruits, and desserts.
• Add as a secret ingredient for flavorful baked desserts and marinades.
