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.
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.
Dama (Lady) is the Leonardi’s youngest Condimento Balsamico. A special selection from a batteria which has been topped up at least three times, this Balsamico is the ideal entry-level Balsamico to those seeking an upgrade from the industrial brands.
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.
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.
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!
