It matures for a minimum of 25 certified years in wooden barrels and is recognizable by its gold cap. Its intense, layered character, velvety density and long, lingering finish make it a condiment to savor one drop at a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSlowly aged in wooden barrels\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade from 100% cooked grape must from traditional Modena varieties, mainly Trebbiano along with different kinds of Lambrusco, Spergola and Berzemino, it follows the same slow, time-honored process: cooking in open vats, natural fermentation and acetification, then annual transfers between barrels of different woods and decreasing sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOver more than two decades of patient care, the vinegar concentrates and develops remarkable complexity. It has a very dark color and a dense yet free-flowing texture. The bouquet is rich and enveloping, with deep notes of fine wood, dried fruit and spice, and the sweet-and-sour flavor is intense, velvety and long-lasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA versatile finishing touch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts depth makes it ideal for dishes with structure and character, such as risotto, fresh stuffed pasta, eggs and braised red meats. It is also a natural partner for well-aged Parmigiano Reggiano. It shines on sweet dishes too, drizzled over fresh fruit or vanilla gelato, and in Modena a small spoonful is traditionally enjoyed on its own as a non-alcoholic digestif at the end of a meal. It comes in the distinctive round 100ml bottle with a rectangular base and a numbered seal, which makes it a rare and memorable gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUse it sparingly and always raw: a few drops added just before serving are enough. Finish a risotto or a plate of stuffed pasta with a few drops after cooking, drizzle it over braised meats or chunks of aged Parmigiano Reggiano, or pour a few drops over vanilla gelato or strawberries for an elegant dessert. To end a meal, serve a small spoonful on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urbani Truffles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71800512348413,"sku":"MV73372","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0049\/4731\/2686\/files\/Acetostravecchio_1.png?v=1793734870","url":"https:\/\/urbani.com\/products\/balsamic-vinegar-of-modena-dop-aged-25-years-100ml","provider":"Urbani Truffles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
