Aged at least 12 to 25 years in series of ancient casks, made of different types of woods, according to the ancient “refilling and decanting” system, the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP Affinato is made only with cooked must of local grapes. It is considered as a symbol of an ancient modenese art that has been handed down for generations over centuries.
