Default Vino cotto

This is an ingredient, rather than a dish, and it is apparently unique to Le Marche.

"Vino cotto is made as follows. Press the juice from several bunches of either red or white grapes, strain into a flameproof earthenware or glass pan, and simmer very gently until thick, about four hours."

It is used (according to my book) in a casserole where it takes the place of both the 1/2 cup of white wine and the tomatoes.

Sounds worth an experiment - anyone tried it?
