“The sweet Apulian tarallo, sweetened by a single drop of grape vincotto.”
Apulian taralli kneaded and then flavoured with grape vincotto, the dense nectar born from slowly simmering the must: crumbly, sweet just right, made without wine.
Sweet vincotto taralli come from the meeting of two symbols of Apulian food: the tarallo, the region's best-known bread shape, and grape vincotto, the nectar obtained by slowly simmering the must for hours. The result is a small crumbly baked treat, with a soft aftertaste of cooked grape — different from the sweet taralli made with wine, because here no wine is used at all: only vincotto gives them their sweetness and colour.
They're made by Biscottificio Preite, the artisan bakery that carries on Salento's sweet-making tradition with hand-kneaded dough and baking.
The tradition
In Puglia, vincotto is among the oldest and best-known sweets: it's made from grapes, figs or cherries left to reduce for hours, until they become a dense, dark nectar. It's an ingredient that crosses sweet and savoury cooking alike — from the Christmas pittule, dipped still warm into vincotto, to the marinating of traditional cured meats such as Capocollo di Martina Franca. In these taralli, that same drop of grape vincotto is worked into the dough and gives them their characteristic sweetness.

Vincotto or wine
Among Apulian sweet taralli there are several variants: some made with white wine, some with red Primitivo wine, and some — like these — with vincotto, and no wine at all. Vincotto gives a more natural, more intense sweetness, different from the light taste of white wine taralli and the bolder one of Primitivo wine taralli.
