Leonardi - Saba Mosto d'Uva Cotto - 750 mL

Acetaia Leonardi gently crushes grapes from their own vineyard, simmering the must in open cauldrons for over 24 hours until reduced to one-third, a sweet and syrupy liquid. This "mosto cotto" is then aged in oak barrels for four years, thickening the syrup without turning it into vinegar and deepening the complexity, a fruity character with hints of grapes, plums and raisins. This is Saba. Saba's hint of acidity complements both sweet and savory dishes.
