Balsamic vinegar is the unfermented juice, or must of the white Trebbiano grape. The juice is boiled down to a sweet, intensely fruity syrup that is then aged in a series of barrels made from various woods including, chestnut, mulberry, juniper, oak and cherry. It is in this manner of aging that imparts the dark color and pungent sweetness to the vinegar. True balsamic vinegar is aged a minimum of six years and is traditionally made in Modena, a city in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Manicardi's assortment of balsamic vinegars includes many different quality levels, which are denoted by a number. The higher the number the better the quality. All Manicardi balsamics are D.O.C. vinegars and are produced in their own facility in Modena.
