Loading... Please wait...Turns out that Juniper wood is so rare that the Italian law is now prohibiting the replenishing of juniper wood casks. Fortunately, Acetaia Leonardi still maintains about 80 barrels and is one of the only companies still producing this 20 year aged Juniper Wood Balsamic Vinegar. And lucky for you, we’re still selling it. Use a few to add a slightly spicy hibiscus element to seared duck or venison carpaccio.
Ingredients: grape must
Size: 100ml
Packaging: glass bottle, gift box
Location: Hand made in Modena, Italy
Run by Giovanni Leonardi and his son Francesco a few miles north of the town of Modena, Acetaia Leonardi is dedicated to the art of aceto balsamico. The vinegars are made on their family farm and housed in the attic of the barn where they are matured. As each balsamic is Consorzio certified –the government’s way of maintaining authenticity for traditional balsamics –they are all packaged in the trademark Giugiaro bottle with the Leonardi label on one side and the Consorzio label on the other.
Tasting notes: It yields an herbaceous, slightly spicy flavor with hints of honey. The sweetness is refined and not at all overpowering. Try a bit over salumi or a chunk of Pamesan
