Experience Details
Meet your host Monica, a guide at the modern Malpighi acetaia, for a local balsamic vinegar tour and tasting. You will learn about why the region of Modena is world-renowned for its balsamic vinegar and how it is made. You will visit two barrel rooms and a museum of vintage vinegar utensils. The proportion of black to white grape juice and the order of the wood that the vinegar is transferred in is what distinguishes the Malpighi family’s vinegar from others.
After your tour you will enjoy a tasting of vinegars of various ages, ranging from 5-25 years, and see if you can determine the age of each vinegar based on its taste. You will leave the experience with one bottle of Saporoso (100 ml) and one bottle of flavored balsamic vinegar.
