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!
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.
Villa Manodori Balsamics are produced in very small quantities by Massimo Bottura, chef and owner of Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena. This artisan aceto is made using exclusively organic Trebbiano grapes that are crushed into a must and aged in a battery of oak, chestnut and juniper barrels. The dark color and rich aroma of the vinegar makes it very versatile.
The sweet Trebbiano grape must is reduced until a delicate golden color, then transferred to oak barrels previously acidified by mother vinegar in order for it to generate the acidification process.
