'Banda Rossa' Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - 20 Year Aged
Balsamic Vinegar by Giuseppe Giusti 250ml
Brand: Gran Deposito Aceto Balsamico Giuseppe Giusti
This is the Giusti family's most precious reserve,
produced in limited numbers only after extensive ageing in the most
precious barrels dating back to the 1600s and 1700s. The result is
an irresistible mellow balsamic with a superb aroma and fruity
notes which make it a unique product for those very special
occasions. In 2008, for the third year in a row, Banda Rossa
achieved '3 Stars of Taste', the maximum score obtainable at the
'Superior Taste Awards', organised by the 'International Taste and
Quality Institute of Brussels', an independent association which
works in partnership with a panel of Michelin chefs and the
Sommelier Association of Europe. 'Banda Rossa' was awarded with a
special prize, the 'Crystal Award', given to firms which achieve
the three Stars three times in a row. Giusti is the first balsamic
vinegar company to obtain such an achievement, and in the history
of the Superior Taste Awards the Crystal Award has been awarded on
only one other occasion. Producer - Gran Deposito Aceto Balsamico
Giuseppe Giusti A note from Vorrei on their producer: "Our producer
is Giuseppe Giusti in Modena. Seventeen generations of his family
have been producing high quality balsamic vinegar since 1605 and
have won numerous prizes (including 14 Gold Medals) over the
centuries. They were the authors of the first documented recipe for
the production of Balsamic Vinegar and are the custodians of the
most extraordinary existing cask reserve, composed of invaluable
century old barrels. Giuseppe Giusti and his family select good
quality Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes and slowly reduce the grape
juice in copper kettles until it is thick, dark and sweet. No
caramel is added to sweeten and colour it - this is the industrial
way to mimic age. Giusti do not reduce by speedy pressurisation
either. Giusti add only good quality wine vinegar to the cooked
grape must, and then age it in traditional wooden
barrels."
