Overview

Hi, I'm Giorgio, welcome to our ancient family vinegar factory.
Together with my father Mario, President of the Consortium of Producers "Antiche Acetaie" and President of the Association of ABTM D.O.P. I share the passion for ABTM in all its facets, from production to the disclosure of its secrets.
In the acetaia you can see numerous batteries including the one started by my great-grandfather Mario in 1905 still in production.
We will also talk about other important batteries for my family such as those started by my grandfather Giorgio in the early 1950s in honor of the birth of his children.

Thanks to our great passion for ABTM we have decided to open the doors of our house and welcome you to this magical world.

See you in Modena!

    This Lunch and Balsamic tasting tour was outstanding we cannot recommend it enough. Learning about the production of Balsamic was very interesting and the food was absolutely amazing. We were only able to do this tour because they offered a transfer from Modena train station. Just remember to book it in advance.

    We had a great time learning, laughing, feasting, and drinking in this beautiful place with knowledgeable and dedicated people. I will certainly appreciate balsamic vinegar in new ways.

    Beautiful drive in the countryside to this location. The vineyards and farmhouses were pictures to remember. The explanations of the vinegar were very informative. The lunch with the vinegar pairing was eye opening. We were very happy with our experience!

    We had a wonderful couple of hours with Mario, Marco and their family. It was a very personable experience. We learnt about how high-quality, authentic balsamic vinegar is made, followed by a feast (complete with their family recipes) to try the vinegar varieties with different foods. Highly recommended.
