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. -
CAMPARI, BALSAMIC, 15 YEAR
This precious balsamic vinegar arises from Lodovico Campari’s passion for Modena and its origins. Trebbiano grapes are picked at their peak ripeness and the must that is obtained is then left to ferment in open top vessels. Once the cooked must has reduced by two thirds, it is then put in oak barrels where it stands in the dark of the attics. From one year to another, Lodovico Campari’s Balsamic Vinegar is transferred from one wood barrel to another, drawing distinctive and unmistakable aromas from each different kind of wood, from cherry to juniper. The Balsamico is then left to the generations of experienced master tasters to decide its readiness. The deep sapphire color, the limpidity, the thick velvety texture and the deep contrast between its initial sweet element and its final acidulous one, makes Campari’s Aceto Balsamico one of the true jewels of Modena.

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.
