Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO - Ciliegio - Aged Decades

Aged for over two generations in ancient Cherry wood barrels, the characteristics of which give the product sweetness and soft taste nuances.

This period of time transforms the grapes of Modena into this exceptional Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. 

The grape is cooked slowly into big steel pans, so the smell evaporates. The must thickens naturally and begins to achieve the traditional brown colour. 

Then, the liquid placed in the attics of houses for the ageing process: the barrels are subject to the summer heat and the winter cold, a temperature variation which is typical of the area of production. 

The product is decanted every year, from the bigger barrel to the smaller. So, the product in this small bottle is the result of a long work which began last century by people who waited all these years to offer a real elixir!

The sweet-and-sour aroma which is called “Balsamo” comes from the wood of the barrels. 

To each type of wood corresponds a different taste, and the type of wood is selected by each family that produces Traditional Balsamic Vinegar.
