This balsamic production and tasting experience, exclusively designed for Italy Segreta clients, begins in the vineyards of a historic producer of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Situated in the rolling hills of “Alta Modena,” the grapes here are grown far from city traffic and pollution, resulting in higher quality yields.

 

Guests will embark on a unique balsamic vinegar experience unlike any other, starting with a comprehensive introduction to the two types of balsamic vinegar from Modena: PGI and PDO.

 

The tour continues inside a traditional Acetaia, a vinegar cellar in the attic, where the family keeps their rarest “food jewels,” and where participants will get to sample a few drops of balsamic vinegar extracted directly from two different barrels using a special wine lifter. They will also see the utilization of other traditional production tools as well as the world’s first bottle of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO, bottled by the family and sealed with the number 0001 at the museum on the premises.

 

The tour ends on a terrace that offers stunning 180º views of the Lambrusco and Trebbiano vineyards, where there will be a tasting of six balsamic vinegars ranging from the youngest to the most aged, followed by a 4-course lunch paired with the family’s Lambrusco Grasparossa wines.
