Vincotto

Vincotto by Gianni Calogiuri

Vincotto is an artisan Italian vinegar from Gianni Calogiuri. Made from a blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia grape varieties, cooked grape must is aged in oak barrels for four years, allowing its flavor and aroma to reach the desired balance of sweet and sour notes. Vincotto's vinegars are perfect for any gift basket that celebrates the cuisine of Italy.

Fig and Citrus Vinegar

In addition to their original oak barrel-aged vinegar, Vincotto makes a few varieties of fruit-infused vinegars. Their fig vinegar has a sweet, fruity flavor that's ideal for dessert dishes. And their citrusy orange and lemon vinegars have a brightness that complements the mellow, fermented notes of this aged balsamic vinegar. All of Vincotto's fruit-infused vinegars are made by adding fruit and wine vinegar to a batch of their original vinegar during the last year of aging, so the robust taste of their original blend is preserved in all versions.
