Bottega - Organic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - Bio - High Quality Vinegar - Italian Vinegar - Modena, Emilia Romagna Italy

Bottega - Family Vintners & Master Distillers since 1935

Bottega S.p.A. it is at the same time a winery and a distillery, which has a close-knit team of expert winemakers both in winemaking and in distillation. The headquarters is located in Bibano di Godega (TV), in the Doc Prosecco area, 50 km north of Venice. The company was founded in 1977 by Aldo Bottega, master distiller with more than thirty years of experience in the field, which he had inherited from his grandfather, an expert wine merchant during the '20s, the passion for the world of wine. At the end of the '70s the company is a small company operating in the local grappa market.

In 1983, on the death of the founder, his son Sandro, together with his brothers Barbara and Stefano, took over the company. From an artisan reality, which operated only in the world of grappa, it has transformed over the years into one of the first 20 private wineries and distilleries. In the duty free and travel retail channel it has burned down the stages and, as far as sparkling wines are concerned, has become the second brand in the world, after a well-known Champagne brand. The unmistakable Bottega Gold, a Prosecco Doc characterized by the bottle with golden livery, is an icon of style that is appreciated throughout the world as an expression of the best Made in Italy.

The practice of cooking grape must dates back to the ancient Romans but it was at the Estense court in Modena that the art of vinegar production was cultivated at the end of the 13th century. The specification, published in 1965, was perfected by the producers in 1994 and after a long process, in 2009 it received European recognition and was included in the register of IGP productions. The result of an ancient process that involves a slow acetification, the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Bottega presents an unmistakable bouquet and a full and round taste.

Production Area

Modena (Emilia Romagna), Italy

Features

For the production of this precious vinegar we use organic concentrated grape must which can be obtained from only seven typical grape varieties of the areas of Modena and Reggio Emilia. After the addition of a small percentage of organic wine vinegar, as required by the regulations, we proceed with the maturation in fine wood containers such as oak, chestnut, oak, mulberry or juniper. The long rest in the wooden barrels makes the vinegar more and more fragrant and gives it the characteristic dark color. At the end of the refinement period, a group of technicians and tasters proceeds to an analytical and organoleptic examination, after which the product can obtain the IGP certification. Organic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Bottega derives exclusively from the skilful blend of organic wine vinegar and organic must and neither preservatives nor colorings are used for its production.
