Can you substitute vino cotto for vino santo?

Vino cotto and vino santo are both sweet wines, but they have distinct flavor profiles and production methods. Vino cotto is made from cooked grape must, giving it a rich, syrupy character, while vino santo is a dessert wine made from dried grapes, resulting in a more complex, nutty flavor. While you can substitute one for the other in some recipes, be aware that the final taste may differ significantly. Adjustments may be necessary to accommodate the unique characteristics of each wine.
