Balsamic Vinegar tasting

Acetaia Marchi has been Vineyard for balsamic vinegar for decades. Passing it down from one generation to the next.

It’s on the outskirts of town and if you get an opportunity, it’s worth it to take the tour. We had a private tour and our tour guide was fantastic.

Besides doing a tasting of the vinegars, we got to see the Vineyards and go in their cellar to see all the barrels, as you will see down below.

Their process is quite interesting and they have batches that they work on for 25 years. They call it extra which has a stronger flavor though is very smooth. Our guide talked to us about the different wood barrels that they use and how as they rotate the vinegar into many barrels, so you get several different flavors such as oak and cedar which gives the vinegar flavor.

They also make other products like jams, syrups, jellies and pearls. The pearls are science fiction. I don’t mean that exactly. They’re like the dot ice cream that you get but instead of it being solid it’s liquid inside and the bubbles are balsamic vinegar. So when you eat them, you get these pops of vinegar. it is so good.

Yes, I bought some. Well I share them?
Hard to say.Read more
