This cask-aged balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy, is made from acetified grape must matured using the Solera method of blending, transferring the vinegar between a succession of high quality barrels of different sizes. A several year refinement process in high quality wood results in a rich and assertive condiment with a warm brown color and a thick, fluid consistency. The aroma is penetrating and persistent. With port and madeira undertones and hints of orange and fig flavors, it is a classic balsamic taste.
