Vino Cotto (Italian Mulled Wine)

Name: Vino Cotto (Italian Mulled Wine)
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Yield: 4

Grab your thermos, we’re drinking our aperitivo in the crisp winter air! Vino cotto, also known as vin brûlé (pronounced the French way with a charming Italian accent), is a winter essential in Italy. People sip it at the market, on the ski slopes, and by the fire at home, watching the snow fall through windows. This sweet and fragrant pick-me-up is basically winter comfort in a cup! It’s spectacular as is, but for the full experience, go ahead and dip a few cookies in there. With a drink like this, you’re sure to stop giving winter the cold shoulder!

Preparation 5 min

Cooking time 15 min

Portions 4

Ingredients

1 bottle (750 ml) Stefano Sangiovese wine

150 ml (5 oz) brandy (optional)

80 ml (about 6 tbsp) golden brown sugar, or to taste

2 cinnamon sticks

4 cloves

2 star anise pods

Orange peel strips, from 1 orange

2 lemon peel strips

Preparation

Pour the wine and brandy (if using) into a saucepan. Add the brown sugar, spices, and citrus peels.
Warm gently over low-medium heat until steaming, without boiling.
Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.
Strain if desired, and serve hot in heatproof glasses or mugs. Salute!
