Acetaia Castelli, of Rio Saliceto in the province of Reggio Emilia bears the name of the street where it is located, the very old road once the center of the town, whose name derives not from the presence of ancient manors or real castles, typical of feudal lordships, but because the first two-story brick houses were built in it.
In this farmhouse, great-grandfather Giuseppe had, first, the intuition to also produce, for his own uses, the wonderful nectar that is balsamic vinegar. The valuable cooperation of his wife Modesta who took care of the refills, the task of the “resdora” of the house.
Quality is the philosophy of this winery, handed down from generation to generation, of meticulous people inextricably linked to the land, is reflected in the care in the selection and management of the vineyards, in the continuous upgrades and modernization of the winery where nothing is left to chance.
After the absorption of some small local businesses in the neighboring province of Modena, a fact that allows us to market both items born from the Consortia that manage the P.D.O. and the I.G.P. Consortium.
Acetaia Castelli owns the entire production chain: the land and its own vines are cultivated, must is produced, and Balsamic Vinegar is made.
High quality is the watchword at Acetaia Castelli. All productions are obtained in-house in a genuine way.
The cooked must, along with time and care, comes from growing lambrusco, trebbiano and spergola grapes.
Together with the different essences donated by the barrel woods (acacia, cherry, pear, juniper, mulberry, chestnut, and oak), time ages the Balsamic Vinegar.
Rio Saliceto is a small town of about 6,000 souls in the province of Reggio Emilia, almost on the border with that of Modena.
It is a particularly suitable territory for the production of ‘Balsamic Vinegar because of the hot and dry summers that create the optimal conditions
for the process of acetic oxidation, evaporation and thus concentration of the product, the cold of winter, on the other hand, promotes the moments of sedimentation and decantation that are responsible for clarity.
