Produced in the cellars of a medieval village in the Chianti hills of Tuscany, Castello di Volpaia’s aged white wine vinegar is produced from carefully selected wines of the region. These unique vinegars are produced using the truciolo method: the wine is percolated through trucioli (chips) of oak and chestnut, transforming the natural alcohol of the wine into the acetic acid of vinegar while enhancing the wine’s complex bouquet. The vinegar reaches its full maturity only after long, slow barrique ageing in small oak and chestnut barrels. The result is an intense aromatic vinegar of exceptional roundness, with a rich flavor that enhances foods from salads to meats, to strawberries and mangoes. A little sediment in the bottom of the bottle is a natural byproduct of the process and will not detract from the qualities of the vinegar.
It’s the perfect ingredient for savory dishes and salads with cheese. Think asparagus, leeks, mushrooms and ripe tomatoes with blue cheese or chevre. Don´t miss oysters dressed with this vinegar.
O-Med vinegars are characterized by a soft acidity. The production method lets the alcohol be transformed into acid while the other aromatic compounds are preserved in the vinegar. The goal is to be able to taste the essence of the fruit without being overwhelmed by acid. The chardonnay is slightly sweet and the liquid has a beautiful clear, golden presentation.
