On Friday, I had one of the best Vino Cotto's that I have ever tasted. It was 12 years old and could not compare with many that I had tried previously. We were working on a project in Loro Piceno, when a local neighbour to the site came to see what was going on. He must have been in his 70's, and after trying to explain why we were laying 1 Km of pipes in the ground to heat a house, asked if we liked Cotto. 20 mins later he was back with a glass and a bottle that he had made, which he insisted we finished (3 contractors and myself ) that is!!
