VINO COTTO NONNO ANTONIO

Nonno Antonio’s love and passion for Vino Cotto is lost in the mists of time. Well aware of a tradition to carry on, Nonno Antonio wanted to dedicate himself personally to the preparation of Vino Cotto. He chose the oak wood to be seasoned to feed the fires which slowly reduced the must, obtained from the pressing of the Montepulciano grapes.
