This is the real deal. The radiant, super viscous Extra Vecchio shines with stunning mirror effects. Extremely aromatic, with notes of tobacco, chocolate and dried fruit. The taste begins with bright, almost tickling impact on the palate. Bursts of sweet and sour give way to rich flavors of sun-dried plums, dried currants and caramel before an outstanding, long, sweet, slightly tannic finish.
Traditionally drizzled over chunks of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese as an appetizer, this is a balsamic vinegar to enjoy in its simplest and purest form. Serve by the spoonful as a novel apéritif or digestif at either end of a feast, or try it over scallopine sautéed in butter or a very crisp veal milanese. Bring a perfect meal to a brilliant end with bowls of vanilla gelato and/or very ripe strawberries drizzled with Extra Vecchio.
