| Curiosity | Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is classified in two categories: Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena or Aceto Balsamico di Modena. Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP is made from white and sugary Trebbiano grapes grown on the hills around Modena. Custom demands that the grapes are harvested as late as possible to take advantage of the warmth that nature provides there. This traditional vinegar is made from the cooked grape must and is aged for a minimum of 12 years (aged) or 25 years (extra aged). The aging process occurs inside barrels of successively smaller size of different kinds of wood, such as juniper, chesnut, mulberry and oak |

The producer
BG Villa Bisini Gambetti - Modena (MO) - Emilia Romagna
Why we chose them
BG corresponds to the initials of the two surnames of the family: Bisini and Gambetti. A family that handed down for generations the passion for the
production of balsamic vinegar.
Nazzarena, who runs today the company with her son Stefano, spent her childhood with her grandparents in a countryside villa around Modena.
She spent a lot of hours in the cellar with her grandfather Guido, breathing the smell of must while fermenting in the barrels. At the same time, her
grandmother Italia passed to Nazzarena the passion for cooking. At that time Nazzarena used to create original fruit compotes with her granma. Her
passion to play with fruit led her to develop, years later, first of all Fragolaceto and then all the other Fruits Preserves: only high quality ingredients,
without dyes or preservatives, flavoured with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI by Villa Bisini Gambetti.
Nazzarena looks after her products very carefully, with love and respect, from production to sales, like a guardian of the ancient tradition of
producing Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
