Gran Deposito Aceto Balsamico Giuseppe Giusti
since 1605
Description
The secret of balsamic vinegar has always been hidden in the wood of the old barrels in which the vinegar ages. Acetaia Giusti proudly preserves the largest collection of historical barrels in its attics: 600 barrels from 1700 and 1800 still in activity. The older the cask is, the better the product will be, because it will continue to release the essences of the wood and the balsamic aromas which over the years have been there and will keep getting better.
Just the great complexity of the maturation and aging systems, made in casks of different sizes and woods, is one of the key elements that will determine the quality of the final product, together with the careful selection of the raw material, mainly grapes from autochthonous vines such as trebbiano or lambrusco, and the system used for their slow cooking and more.
