This balsamic is made by a small farming family who owns their own vineyards nestled in the center of the main growing region between the Modena and Reggio Emilia areas of Italy. This growing region is renowned for producing the highest quality Trebbiano grapes for balsamic vinegar, and these are no exception. After careful cultivation, the ripe sweet grapes enter the classic production process. They are slow cooked over a low flame for days until the volume is reduced by half. This “grape must” is then aged for years in family owned wood barrels. The aged must is combined with small amounts of aged Lambrusco wine vinegar which are also made with grapes from the family vineyard. The combination is expertly designed to produce the perfect level of acidity and sweetness.
