Il mostocotto è un prodotto tipico della tradizione casalinga abruzzese. Esso è presente nelle nostre case sin dal tempo degli antichi romani i quali utilizzavano questo liquido denso per addolcire e arricchire il sapore dei cibi oltre che, aggiunto all’acqua, per ottenere una bevanda dissetante ed energetica. Nelle opere degli scrittori latini Apicio, Catone, Columella e del poeta Ovidio, nato a Sulmona, si trovano testimonianze dell’uso del Mostocotto. Attualmente viene utilizzato come ingrediente nell’impasto di vari dolci tradizionali locali. Il mostocotto Praesidium è un succo dolce e denso, ottenuto durante il periodo della vendemmia facendo bollire, a fiamma diretta e moderata per 12-16 ore, il mosto fiore, proveniente al 100% da uve selezionate Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. La lavorazione è lunga e delicata al punto che da 10 litri di mosto se ne ricavano circa 2 di mostocotto Praesidium. Il mostocotto non contiene alcool. Può essere accompagnato a formaggi molto stagionati o ricotta, bollito misto o verdure grigliate. Può essere usato per farcire dolci e macedonia di frutta o, nel modo più tradizionale, come ingrediente nell’impasto di dolci locali abruzzesi. Arricchisce il sapore delle pere al forno

Tuscan Vinsanto… a wine whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Vinsanto in Tuscany is such an important wine full of meaning that it was difficult to buy, it was an ambition to make it at home with your own hands; in every family there was a person in charge of this art, usually the father or grandfather. The hypothesized origins of this exquisite drink, as well as those of its singular name are different and are lost in the mists of time. A Sienese legend says that in the 14th century a friar distributed a wine that healed the sick, hence the belief that it was a miraculous wine, "Santo". However, it cannot be excluded that the name "holy" derives from the use that has always been made of it during Mass.

This sweet wine has a unique style. The red color is impenetrable, the scent evokes blackberries, dried fruit and cinnamon, the taste is of a singular balance. In fact, the dense texture of tannins imprisons acidity and sweetness and everything is confused, creating a gustatory sensation of harmonious fullness. It is thanks to the drying of Sagrantino grapes on racks that such a concentration is obtained. Originally Sagrantino grapes were used only for the making of this sweet wine, drunk on the occasion of religious ceremonies in the villages of the area.
