This barrel-aged balsamic is a rich blend of 80% cooked grape must and premium aged wine vinegar, blended in perfect harmony and then aged for up to 10 years in small oak casks. Sun-ripened late-harvest Lambrusco and Trebbiano grapes are hand-selected before soft-pressing to produce the highest quality grape must. The grape must is cooked in open steel kettles to reduce the must by half, then blended with aged wine vinegar to balance the acidity, and left to ferment in small oak barrels. This traditional aging method is known as the Solera Method.
Taste:

How to Enjoy:
- Sautéing or grilling meats and vegetables.
- Drizzling over warm pasta, fruit, antipasto salads, or rice dishes.
- Dipping with your favorite vinegar and a rustic baguette.
