It makes a flavorful salad dressing with a peppery green, such as arugula, and fruit, nuts, and cheese. It’s divine with apples, walnuts and gorgonzola in a salad.
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.
Consistancy is compared to 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.
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.
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.
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.
