Poema extravecchio - Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena D.O.P.

Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena D.O.P. is produced with cooked must in open cauldrons over direct fire, made from lambrusco and/or trebbiano grapes. No addition of other substances is permitted, nor is it necessary. Acetification takes place over a very long ageing period in a series of casks made from different woods (chestnut, oak, acacia, cherry, mulberry, ash and juniper). To be called as such, traditional Modena vinegar must comply with a very strict set of production regulations, covering the grapes used, the production process, ageing and even bottling. The only bottle permitted is the classic 100 ml Giugiaro bottle. For the "Poema extravecchio" lambrusco grapes from the province of Modena are used. Its very long ageing, of at least 25 years, makes it unique in flavour, density and characteristics. An absolute excellence for the palate, even on its own.
