The “Vino Cotto” (Cooked Wine) is a typical product of Macerata’s and Ascoli’s region, which finds in the countryside of Loro Piceno a high profile in history, culture and tradition. The grapes for making “Vino Cotto” are the locals black and white: Trebbiano, Sangiovese and Montepulciano. The grapes are pressed, and the juice is placed in copper and boiled slowly over direct wood fire for about 10-12 hours, until a drop of between 30% and 50% of its initial volume. Once cooked, the must is poured, still hot, in wooden barrels and left ageing for a period of not less than 5 years.
