Leonardi Saba Mosto d'Uva Cotto

Leonardi Saba Mosto d'Uva CottoSaba is simply grape 'must' (juice) cooked down and aged to molasses rich, raisin like sweetness and a thick, syrupy texture. In this case, those grapes are Trebbiano, the same used for balsamic vinegar. A drizzle can balance bitter braised greens, intensify the sweetness of roasted meats and balance the acidity of dressing and vinaigrettes. On the sweet side, try drizzling over ice cream, fruit or oatmeal. A little goes a long way. 250 ml
