This traditional balsamic vinegar has received from the European Commission the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) recognition and is submitted to a strict production policy. Only two qualities are put on the market: “Affinato” aged for at least 12 years and “Extravecchio” aged for minimum 25 years.
All products from PonteVecchio are made following the traditional methods handed down from father to son and using the ingredients provided by the local vineyards surrounding the farm, the typical Trebbiano white grape and Lambrusco red grape. From these two varieties of grapes, we obtain the “must” (cooked grape juice) which is the basic ingredient for the balsamic condiments here aged in the numerous wooden barrels located in the attics of the “Acetaia”.
