Visits and experiences
The best way to understand the ancestral world of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena PDO – perhaps the only way – is to visit the vinegar loft. The process is not what you expect: nothing modern and surprisingly long timeframes, painstaking controls, meticulous annual decanting, unending patience to allow nature to take its course.
Acetaia Leonardo Giacobazzi is not just a vinegar loft: as well as the aroma of the vinegar you can admire exhibits that help trace the history of traditional balsamic vinegar – tools, documents and cultural artefacts.
You will be welcomed by Sandrone, the typical Modenese Mask created by sculptor Angelo Borsari, dressed in the costumes of the time and perfectly tooled up as a vinegar producer, naturally jealous of his vinegar!
Visitors will have the chance to taste pure Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale Extravecchio, aged for at least 25 years, and note its differing organoleptic complexity compared with PDO12, aged for a minimum of 12 years. They will be able to identify the sensory qualities of traditional balsamic vinegar produced in batteries with barrels mainly made of particular woods like cherry, oak or juniper, and understand how the characteristics of each wood can influence the final flavour. An eye-opening sensory experience is guaranteed.
Refreshments and tastings with other typical products or any other requests can be arranged when making your booking.
Entrusting batteries to our care
Anything can happen when visiting a vinegar loft – you might even fall in love with a battery and buy it for your family. At Acetaia Leonardo Giacobazzi you can also purchase a certified battery and entrust us to take care of it, guaranteeing yourself an annual supply of Giugiaro PDO bottles. It is also possible to confide a family battery to our care if you no longer have the time or space to look after it. Where possible, the owner’s presence during Decanting or also for straightforward controls is desirable. The partnership conditions will be agreed on and established by a specific contract.
