Vincotto PrimitivO

Literally translated Vincotto means cooked wine and PrimitivO refers to the min 2 year Aged Red PrimitivO Dolcetto Naturale wine which is by a very gently and lengthy process reduced down to a rich dark non-alcoholic syrup. This rich sweet aromatic mellow syrup forms the basis for all the Vincotto PrimitivO range.

The Tradition The Primitivo grape has been cultivated in the Salentine peninsula, in the very heel of Italy, since well before mediaeval times, whilst the tradition of reducing cooked grape musts goes back to Roman times. This tradition can be seen in the mediaeval mosaic from the nearby 5th century church of Santa Maria della Croce di Casaranello.
