Vino Cotto Newletter – Autumn 2013

www.vinocotto.com.au      Recipes       About Us       Autumn 2013    Making the Best Possible Vino Cotto Our goal is to make the best possible Vino Cotto within the constraints of each vintage.  Having said that, we’ve just successfully navigated our way through another production of Vino Cotto, which is always a rewarding experience and the bottled product should prove to be fantastic.The vines this year enjoyed perfect ripening weather, with minimal spoilage, allowing the berries to establish flavours of concentration. The young 2013 Vino Cotto is now resting in storage for the next many months.  As it ages, the Vino Cotto becomes more syrupy and intensely flavoured with a delicate sweetness and lovely lingering fragrance.Autumn Indulgence As the weather gets cooler our thoughts turn to comfort food with ingredients that capture the rays of our Autumn sun. We have prepared three new recipes for you and your family to enjoy while these Autumn fruits still have about three weeks to go in back yards and local fruit shops. Our Seasonal Recipes Poached Vino Cotto Quince, Hazelnut and Blueberry Crumble  Serves 8 A crumble says it all – ‘comfort, warmth, flavour, cosiness’  and combined with the lovely perfumed Quince fruit that has been poached in Vino Cotto and aromatics, it’s truly a perfect family dessert.
