So, I'm trying to touch some roots here and play more with Italian food.
I was looking for something a bit different but a taste people would know and remember. This would be very similar to a balsamic reduction as well. Vino Cotto meaning cooked wine. Red Wine reduced down, with mulling spices.
Lets get to it then! —Matthew White

This sounds delicious, but authentic vino cotto is made purely with grape must, no other ingredients.
