ANCIENT PROCESS - Crafted from cooked sundried grapes and aged wine vinegar, this gourmet balsamic vinegar undergoes a meticulous aging process. Giuseppe Giusti vinegars are produced using a precise method that has been refined over time. Similar to wine, sweet balsamic vinegar is distinct to a specific region in the world where the grapes are ideal. Traditional Italian balsamic is sourced from Modena or Reggio Emilia. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is made from Lambrusco or Trebbiano grape varieties.
PERFECTLY AGED - Our balsamic wine vinegar is aged flawlessly in heirloom barrels passed down through generations of the Giusti family. The barrels are composed of various types of wood for different stages of the process, allowing the vinegar to acquire the intricate flavors of the casks. After a minimum of 12 years, the vinegar is considered ready for consumption. Only if the vinegar meets a specific taste standard can it be bottled and sealed.
FLAVORFUL BALSAMIC VINEGAR - The flavor characteristics of this Gran Deposito Balsamic Vinegar include hints of plum jam, red fruit, honey, and vanilla. This gourmet balsamic displays a deep brown hue with a glossy, velvety smooth texture. Its complex, aromatic, and acidic undertones make it an excellent pairing with fresh pasta, soft cheese, fresh fruit, or as a unique twist to enhance a Negroni or other cocktails.
TRULY TIMELESS TASTE - Endorsed by Stanley Tucci of "Searching for Italy," Giusti was established in 1605 and holds the title of the oldest vinegar producer in the world.
