BALSAMIC VINEGAR
Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI can only be produced in the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia, obtained exclusively from the Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Albana, Ancellotta, Fortana, and Montuni grape varieties.
It is made from cooked or concentrated must, with the addition of a quantity of wine vinegar that has been aged for at least 10 years, and it is aged in barrels for at least 60 days, or for over 3 years for products labeled as “aged.” Fermentation begins immediately in large vats and continues after transfer to casks made from prized woods such as oak, particularly sessile oak, chestnut, mulberry, and juniper.
The resulting product is filtered and subjected to a “final examination” (analytical and organoleptic), which leads to certification as Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
This product is the result of the Emilian lands and centuries of wisdom, presenting a clear and bright appearance with an intense dark brown color tending towards black. Its flavor is sweet and sour, with a harmony between acidity and sweetness, while its aroma is slightly acidic, delicate, and persistent, with possible woody notes.
The secret of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena lies in three factors: the grapes, the land (climate and environment), and love. The aging process of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena requires time. The longer it rests in the ancient barrels of Fondo Montebello, the richer it becomes in flavors and aromas, creating a tasting experience that seduces the senses in a unique way.
