Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.D.O
"Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.D.O." begins its life with the grape-harvest festival and proceeds with the boiling of the must with the open vessels put direct on the flames. After that it rests quietly in the attics. The barrels decreasing size, made with different woods are the tools which lead to the ageing and to the improving of "Balsamico". The must is poured from the biggest into the smallest barrels and is left for at least twelve years. After this time, a simple is taken from the smallest barre of each row and is submitted to the expert tasters committee for approval. If the product is 25 years old it can be given the name "Extra Old".
