Fattoria La Maliosa’s very best grape must and Pastry chef Vito Naccari give birth to a compote that goes well with cheese and more. It’s also great in a tart with a whole-wheat crust or spread over a slice of toast!

Ingredients
4kg organic and biodynamic farmed grape must
4 litres of water

Method
In a large saucepan, place the grape must, water, dextrose and sugar and bring to the boil. Cook for about 2 hours. Add another litre of water and the spices. Leave overnight.
