Aceto di Vincotto 8 Years – 250ml

Gianni Calogiuri Aceto di Vincotto 8 Years – Aged Seasoning Vinegar from Puglia (250 ml)

The Gianni Calogiuri Aceto di Vincotto 8 Years is a rare specialty from southern Italy: a vinegar based on traditional Vincotto – cooked grape must – that was then allowed to age for a full eight years in oak barrels. The result is a deeply aromatic, velvety seasoning vinegar with a delicate sweetness, balanced acidity, and an impressive, almost balsamic richness. A product for anyone who likes to achieve great effects in the kitchen with just a few drops.

• Aged 8 years: Long barrel aging ensures depth, harmony, and complex aromas.
• From Vincotto: Base of slowly cooked grape must – typically Apulian, naturally sweet and savory.
• Versatile in the kitchen: Perfect for refining, glazing, and finishing dishes.

What makes this Gianni Calogiuri Aceto so special

Vincotto has been a culinary treasure in Puglia for centuries: grape must is slowly cooked until it is concentrated, dark, and aromatic. At Gianni Calogiuri, this must is further processed into a noble Aceto and refined in barrels over years. Time brings tranquility to the acidity, rounds out the sweetness, and creates a velvety texture reminiscent of high-quality balsamic – with its own distinct, southern signature.

Taste & Aroma

The aroma reveals ripe dark grapes, dried fruits, delicate caramel notes, and a hint of wood. On the palate, the Aceto is dense and soft, with elegant sweetness, lively but never sharp acidity, and a long, spicy finish. It is complex but never heavy – exactly the kind of seasoning that elevates a dish to the next level.

Vincotto Enjoyment Ideas

A few drops are enough: over ripe tomatoes, burrata or Parmigiano, with grilled vegetables, mushrooms, or lentils. It pairs wonderfully with dark sauces, game, duck, or beef and is a dream for glazing onions or roasted vegetables. It also adds a surprisingly delicate accent to strawberries, figs, vanilla ice cream, or chocolate desserts.
