In the lowlands of Modena, where summers are scorching and winters foggy and damp, time has stood still: this is where the Azienda Agricola Il Poeta was born. Here, the art of producing balsamic vinegar has passed through several generations of a family that holds authenticity and Modena's traditions close to its heart. Known as black gold, not only for its preciousness, but because it was once the dowry given to daughters for their marriage, aceto balsamico di Modena is a story. It is the story of places and memories carved into the soul of those who produce it, of unforgettable childhood moments, of convivial lunches with family or friends. The 600 barrels of different woods, arranged in small "batterie" and kept, as tradition dictates, in the attic of the acetaia's farmhouse, bring these stories together, making every product unique.
