As the ancient families of Modena struggled to keep up with demand for Aceto Balsamico di Modena Tradizionale, they began to blend their famed ‘Black Gold’ with local wine vinegar. 


And in this process, arising from a desire to share, another authentically Italian culinary icon was born: Aceto Balsamico di Modena.

The grapes, the soil, the climate.

Just as it’s always been, we start with those three elements.The grapes are only ever Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Albana, Ancellotta, Fortana and Montuni – and the perfect balance of sugar and acidity found in each of the chosen seven varieties is thanks to the beautiful Italian climate and the rich soils of our vineyards.

The extraordinary flavours and textures and aromas of our Aceto Balsamico di Modena are delicious proof of the expertise of our ever-passionate blenders – and a testament to our enduring recipes, that have been passed down and perfected by generations of Modena makers.

Every Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is different, and the art of blending is a patient labor of love.  Here’s how we craft ours, from start to finish.
