Fig Balsamic Vinegar from Italy

Description

Made with Barrel-Aged Balsamic  and fig flavoring this Fig Balsamic Vinegar is a perennial favorite that exhibits great harmony with its rich and full flavors. One of our best selling balsamic vinegars. Our Fig Balsamic Vinegar  is made for us by one of the most renowned makers of Balsamic Vinegar  in Italy. It is made in Modena, Italy using traditional methods. First quality grape must, which is obtained from whole pressed grapes from locally grown late-harvested varietals, particularly Trebbiano and Lambrusco, is reduced by roughly half and left to ferment naturally for up to three weeks. The resulting concentrated grape must is then blended with a small amount of premium aged wine vinegar to balance the acidity and matured and further concentrated for a minimum of 18 months in Slavonia Oak casks. Fig flavoring is then added to the resulting Balsamic  which has a glossy and viscous dark brown color, with beautiful orange reflections. It has a velvety texture and a slight fruity sweetness, balanced 4.5% acidity and mellow oak undertones.
