Local, fresh and organic cooked must, cooked and then spontaneously fermented and acetified in barrels for a couple of years. It is then refined for a total of 6-7 years. Intense, mature.

The Essence of Acetaia San Giacomo is a full-bodied, intense and structured Balsamic , sweeter than sour, extremely rare because it is made from 100% organic cooked must from the area, aged and assembled from several vintages, even more than 7 years old. WITHOUT ADDING wine vinegar. Only 1 ingredient on the label.
On an aromatic level it is very rich, releasing intense notes of dried plum, liquorice, black cherry, kola nut; in the background, rare notes of fermentation and oxidation, almost "vinose".

To be used raw (it would be wasted during cooking) on risottos, mature cheeses, red meat, tartare, omelettes, ravioli, pumpkin, onions and desserts.

Spontaneous fermentation of cooked must is something unique , which is normally done only for Traditional Balsamic Vinegar. We have always done it also on more "everyday" bases, so as not to compromise on the quality of any of our products.

Essenza is a trademark registered in Italy and worldwide by Acetaia San Giacomo, it identifies not only a product but a journey lasting years, to obtain quasi-perfection.
