ACETAIA LEONARDI, CHERRY BALSAMIC
Very few producers (if any) can have a batteria made entirely of precious cherry wood. Ciliegio (cherry) is a limited-number bottling from a 20-year travassi barrel of a batteria made entirely of cherry-wood barrels. Do you remember the smell of a freshly baked cherry pie? That is the first image that comes to mind along with freshly picked amarene (sour cherries). Sweet, clean and very aromatic.

ACETAIA LEONARDI, SABA
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.

LEONARDI BALAMICO CONDIMENTO 20 YR.
Since the rules of the Consorzio of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena allow only a limited number of bottles a year to bear the Seal of Quality, many of the traditional producers bottle a limited amount of balsamico under the Condimento Balsamico category and label. This means that the product has not undergone the scrutiny nor the very limited quota of the Traditional consortium and therefore, reflects the quality standards of the Leonardi family.
Syrupy as 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. Rich and vibrant on the tongue with a sudden lively finish. Sweet and sour in the front of the mouth and in the back with evolving caramel flavors, raisins and fresh cherries. -

LEONARDI, BALSAMIC SILVER VINEGAR, 12 YEAR
Leonardi’s Sigillo Argento is a masterful blend of cooked grape must and high quality wine vinegar. Thick as maple syrup, with notes of cooked grapes like a good Amarone, and a long subtle acidic finish.
Drizzle over a sizzling hot grilled steak or pork chop, as well as on grilled eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini. Wonderful swirled into butternut squash soup or creamy Parmigiano risotto. Highlight the freshness of freshly sliced plums, nectarines, and peaches. Use instead of caramel or chocolate sauce over baked pears and apples.
