The first Tuscan family to safeguard a traditional balsamic vinegar cellar in Modena
We are proud to be the first Tuscan family to preserve a traditional acetaia in the heart of Modena, dedicated to the creation of prestigious PDO and PGI Balsamic Vinegar.
Patience, dedication, and a devoted respect for time: these are the elements that bring a sublime Balsamic Vinegar to life. Our production is rooted in the renowned hills of Modena, the only terroir in the world where the elegance of Sangiovese meets the strength of the native Lambrusco and Trebbiano grape varieties.
Every stage of the production ritual is carried out with meticulous care: from hand harvesting to pressing, all the way to the solemn aging process.
Aging takes place according to the traditional method of annual decanting and topping up, in a series of barrels made from different woods, including oak, chestnut, cherry, mulberry, and juniper each contributing specific aromatic and structural notes. The seasonal temperature variations typical of the Modena region encourage the slow concentration and maturation of the product.
Our Balsamic Vinegar DOP is made exclusively from cooked grape must, slowly concentrated over direct heat until it reaches the ideal density.
Alcoholic fermentation, followed by natural acetic transformation, occurs thanks to the action of native yeasts and bacteria present in the must and in the environment of the acetaia. This unique microbiological balance contributes to the development of distinctive and complex sensory profiles.
