Great visit to dispensa acietta

Published on Jul, 2024

We enjoyed our visit to this balsameria and the charming village of Castelvetro. It was very informative and we enjoyed the tasting of various aged vinegars.

Worth the Trip

Amazing experience, very interesting to learn all about the process and amazing tasting opportunity.

A hidden jewel of Modena

Published on May, 2024

We booked a tasting tour last minute 1.5 days beforehand. I had contacted every Balsamic vinegar producer on the first 2 pages of Google, and this company was the only one that responded and gave us a tour. Ortensia was an amazing guide. It was only the 3 of us (and my parents can't speak English well) but she was super patient, explained everything in great detail, and waited to give me time to translate. The tour was also very authentic - Ortensia was clearly super proud of her vinegar, and explained each detail while we stood in a 16th century tower among real batteries of balsamic vinegar. We finished with a tasting of vinegars, from the non-traditional to traditional ones, going up to 100 years aged. We never knew how good authentic Balsamic vinegar is, but now we know. We were super happy with the guide and bought a few bottles to bring back home. I'm a Ferrari fan, so next time I come to Modena, this place is on my must-visit list.

Balsamic wonders

Published on Apr, 2024

The tasting was very interesting. The climb up into the tower was a little bit claustrophobic and very very steep. It was unfortunate we were not allowed to take photos in the tower but were still very impressed with the tour and 1 on 1 attention we received.

Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Tour and Tasting

Published on Oct, 2023

Fantastic tour with chocolate/balsamic paired tasting. The tour guide was excellent! We came straight from the Ferrari museum which was only 15 minutes away by car. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tasting. Was a terrific day trip from Florence. Highly recommend!
