Experience Authentic Italian Flavor with Vino Cotto di Montillo
Vino Cotto di Montillo, made exclusively from premium California wine grapes, is a rare and all-natural gourmet condiment crafted by Montillo Italian Foods. Drawing on a fourth-generation family recipe from Calabria, Italy, this authentic product carries a rich history dating back to ancient Roman times. Alcohol-free and syrupy in texture, it features refined notes of grapes, figs, plums, and raisins, elevating both savory and sweet dishes.
A Rich History in Every Drop
The origins of Vino Cotto date back to the 3rd century BC, where it was cherished by the Picenes and later enjoyed by Roman emperors at grand feasts. Produced traditionally by simmering grape must in copper vessels, it was revered as both a natural sweetener and a sophisticated flavor enhancer. Since 2008, Montillo Italian Foods has carried on this ancient tradition in the United States, crafting Vino Cotto in small batches using only the finest wine grapes.
