Balsamic vinegar is the unfermented juice, or "must" of the white trebbiano grape. The juice is boiled down to a sweet, intensely fruity syrup that is then aged is a series of barrels made from various woods including, chestnut, mulberry, juniper, oak and cherry. It is in this manner of aging that imparts the dark color and pungent sweetness to the vinegar. True balsamic vinegar is aged a minimum of six years and is traditionally made in Modena, a city in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Manicardi's assortment of balsamic vinegars include many different quality levels, which are denoted by a number. The higher the number the better the quality. All Manicardi balsamic's are d.o.c. vinegars and are produced in their own facility in Modena. Manicardi Balsamic Vinegar #25 is aged in chestnut, cherry, oak, mulberry and juniper barrels. We suggest it with Parmigiano Reggiano, vegetables, roasted meats or ice creams and sorbets.
