Riserva Reale Balsamic Vinegar – Acetaia Reale (Numbered Bottles)

The Balsamic Vinegar of Modena IGP “Riserva Reale” by Acetaia Reale is one of the most prestigious offerings from this historic estate in Modena. It is a limited edition product that focuses on premium raw materials and the patient passage of time.

Key Features of the Numbered Selection:

• Extended Aging: The “Riserva” designation typically indicates aging in precious wood barrels (oak, chestnut, cherry) for a period significantly longer than the standard requirements, resulting in a thick, syrupy density.

• Numbered Bottles: Each bottle is individually numbered to certify the exclusivity of the batch. This guarantees that the vinegar comes from a limited production run and specific sets of barrels hand-selected by the Master Taster.

• Sensory Profile: An extremely dense and harmonious vinegar. it is characterized by a perfect balance between the sweetness of cooked grape must and acidity, featuring spicy and woody undertones.

About Acetaia Reale
