Modena Exclusive Balsamic Vinegar Tasting Experience

Master Tour: Vertical Tasting of Rare Balsamic Vinegars

A complete, detailed and passionate visit to the Acetaia together with the owner Andrea.
From the external courtyard you pass to the ancient internal stall with the acetification barriques; then we move on to the suggestive Acetaia, where the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar rests (in some cases for more than 50 years) , located in the old barn of the Corte Faragosa.
We then proceed with the guided tasting.

The tour includes a complete visit to the Acetaia (about 1 hour) and tasting of all the “cooked” products (Saba, BalsaMela, Agro di Mosto, Balsamico San Giacomo, Essenza San Giacomo, Signoria Gonzaga) plus all three Traditional Balsamic Vinegars from Reggio Emilia (Lobster label, minimum 12 years of ageing, Silver label 20 years, Gold label 25 years) and tasting of Raw (wine) Vinegars .

In addition to the classic tasting, various “goodies” are offered such as Balsamics from particularly award-winning, aged batches, reserves of wine vinegars, particular products from abroad and many points of view from within a little-known world, that of balsamic vinegars and Not.
Obviously, always in San Giacomo style: without frills and with practical demonstrations!
