Mosto

"Must," as it is called in English, is the juice extracted from pressed grapes before it undergoes fermentation. Must contains about 65-85% water and 10-30% sugar and, when fermented, turns into wine. Concentrated must, which contains about 50-60% sugar, is obtained by heating the must in special containers under reduced pressure until reduced to roughly a third of its volume.
