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

Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena D.O.P. is produced with cooked must in open kettles over a direct flame, made from lambrusco and/or trebbiano grapes. No addition of other substances is permitted, nor is it necessary. The acetification takes place over a very long ageing period in a series of barrels made of different woods (chestnut, oak, acacia, cherry, mulberry, ash and juniper). To be called Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, it must comply with a very strict set of production rules, covering the grapes used, the production process, the ageing and even the bottling. The only bottle allowed is the classic 100 ml Giugiaro bottle. The slow passage through numerous barrels of different woods transforms the naturally acetified cooked must into a concentrate of flavour and harmony. The acidity is softened by the contribution of the cherry wood, making the "aged Poema" versatile and suitable for any dish. It is recommended to always use it raw.
