Sopraffino vinegar Reserve 12 years 100ml ACETAIA DUCALE ESTENSE
122546
Sopraffino, whose name means "very great finesse", is an exceptional condiment based on raw must of Cabernet Sauvignon, Raboso and Merlot grapes. After a first natural concentration of 6 years in oak barrels, it undergoes a second concentration of another 6 years in barrels of different species such as chestnut, cherry, oak and mulberry. Each year, a mixture of fresh acetified must is added by transfer in different species barrels to impregnate the different wood flavors. Its high density brings a very enveloping sensation in the mouth, complemented by a well perceived acidity, contributing to the prolonged persistence of aromas. The production of Sopraffino differs from that of balsamic vinegar of Modena by the addition to white wine vinegar of raw white grape must, instead of cooked must. Excellent for dishes such as roasts and game, but also soups and risottos, it brings a special spicy note to the finest dishes.
Vinegars of remarkable finesse, produced according to a method practiced since the Italian Renaissance, only from the grapes of the domain
In the region of Venice, the Este family produces in its acetaie (vinegar) fine condiments, such as the emblematic Aceto Sopraffino, highly coveted by the European courts of the sixteenth century. This house has revived since 1994 the vinegar recipe of the Superintendent of the House of the Dukes of Este, archived since the Renaissance. According to the same technique and in the identical barrel model, it is aged with the same thermal amplitude. Signature of this vinegar factory, only the grapes from his vineyard, predisposed for the actification, enter the development of their wines and vinegars. Their system of production and ripening of wine products is based on a perpetual reserve, called "solera". Once a year, part of the contents of each cask is transferred to open barrels for oxygenation. Of course, these products are free of any additives (caramel, preservatives, colorants, thickeners ...).
