Colavita Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP makes flavorful dressings and marinades. It’s a perfect pair for fresh fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, strawberries, or asparagus, and also compliments hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano.
Il Pregiato (the precious one) is the Leonardi’s family selection from a batteria with minimum 10 travasi (topping up).
San Giuliano balsamic vinegar of Modena is obtained by the fermentation and maturation of pure grape must and wine vinegar in wooden casks. It has a fragrant bouquet and a balanced sweet and sour taste. These exquisite characteristics make it an ideal condiment, equally good for the simplest and most sophisticated dishes. It is excellent on boiled foods, as well as oven-prepared meats and fish, and also adds a delicate taste to vegetables and salads.
Acetaia Leonardi’s Saba is unique. The family’s Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes are grown in the 7 hectares surrounding the family home and acetaia. After a gentle crushing, the juice and pulp is coarsely filtered and the mosto (mash),is cooked (cotto) in an open copper vat at 175-200°F for a day or two, reducing it to about a third the volume. The concentrated mosto cotto is then cooled and placed in large oak casks which were previously inoculated with a mother of vinegar, a batch of vinegar alive with a culture of aceto-bacteria. The Saba will stay in the casks for almost 4 years, giving a deep complexity to the Saba, without converting it to vinegar.
A unique creation from 3-Michelin Star chef, Massimo Bottura, the delectable aroma and taste comes from aging traditional balsamic vinegar with prized Vignola cherry wood, resulting in a balsamic vinegar infused with a luscious cherry flavor! It’s delicious!
Consistancy is compared to a chocolate sauce. Shades of brown with bright mirror refflections. Aromas of grapes, apples and caramel with a well-balanced hint of wild flower honey and maple syrup.
