Traditional 18 Year Barrel Aged

Crafted in Modena, Italy, and inspired by rare lots of 18-Year Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia, our Traditional 18 Year Style dark balsamic has everything you would expect in a world-class balsamic: the perfect balance and structure of sweet and sour, notes of prune and caramel with a creamy texture that extends into a long finish. Made with an exceptionally high percentage of Italian Lambrusco, Sangiovese, and Trebbiano grapes that are slowly cooked to create the highest quality grape must base. The must is then combined with barrel-aged Sangiovese wine vinegar to start the acetification process. The end result is the most premium example of an extremely high-quality balsamic condimento that pairs well with almost every olive oil in our store.
