Slow-cooked grape must

Slow-cooked grape must, or Saba, has a thick, syrupy consistency with a deep, naturally sweet flavor. Because it is reduced over direct heat without fermentation, it lacks the sharp acidity of vinegar. Instead, it offers a complex profile of caramelized sugar, dark honey, and sun-ripened raisins. Subtle hints of plum and fig emerge on the palate, leaving a rich, velvety finish that is both fruity and intensely concentrated.
