#38 of Italian Forgotten Classics: Sugolo Mantovano (Lombardia)Made only from grape must and flour, it was once prepared by families during the wine season, when every drop of the press was precious.Simple, sweet, and earthy, it tastes like autumn in a spoon.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6):• 1 liter fresh grape must (unfermented)• 100 g flour (00)• Optional: 50 g sugar (only if grapes aren’t very sweet)
Instructions:
1. Filter the grape must to remove skins and seeds.
2. In a bowl, whisk a little must with the flour to avoid lumps.
3. Heat the rest of the must in a pot and slowly stir in the flour mixture.
4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the pudding thickens (10–15 minutes).
5. Pour into bowls or molds and let cool.
6. Serve chilled — even better the next day, when the flavor deepens.
Harvest in a spoon — poor in ingredients, rich in memory.

  1. I love this concept, I love food history, and a big part of food history that occupies my mind is what was food like before the founding of the Americas. Keep it going, I love it.

  2. You have an awesome channel, this is so inspiring. Harvesting grapes this weekend in the garden, so time for Sugolo! (please make a cookbook some day, that would be amazing!)

  3. Very simillar to Greek grape puddings. Probably all winemaking areas across Europe have simillar concepts
