Since many years, this farm produces some kinds of vinegar using high – quality honey and wines, produced by mono grape varieties, as Barbera, Freisa and Moscato; the last one was known and mentioned in texts about Piedmontese cooking since the Eighteenth century. All these products are acidified using the ancient Orleans’ method, with a refinement of variable duration in oak wood barrels, in particular aiming at long ageing. In addition to vinegars, this farm produces velvet sauces, jams and boiled must, which are perfect to be combined with meat and cheese, or for adding an extra touch of taste to ice cream and desserts. This farm offers a large variety of balsamic condiments, naturally flavoured, and provides some famous chefs nationally. You will be able to visit the production area and make a delicious aperitif in the botanic garden of the farm, for tasting some recipes prepared with wine vinegar and balsamic condiments.
