Main features

This Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is characterised by the fact that it comes from the family barrels. Here the fine musts, carefully selected, blend in an embrace with the best wine vinegar. The result is a syrupy consistency, an intense and bright colour, a sweet and sour flavour that enchants the palate. Every drop that you will let fall on your dishes will be a story of tradition and perfection, an ode to the wonder of an art that has been renewed for centuries.

Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Certification

SCRIGNO 5 Medaglie is certified Aceto Balsamico di Modena. This certification guarantees the authenticity and origin of the product, confirming that each bottle respects the parameters defined by the specifications of the Consortium of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Each batch is subjected to analysis by a third party, upon passing which it can be bottled and placed on the market. Only after this chain of checks, which descends from the European Union Regulation on Protected Geographical Indication, can the individual bottles boast the characteristic yellow and blue mark. A symbol of quality and tradition recognised worldwide.

The “5 Medals” classification

The 5 Medals represents the highest level in terms of greater quantity of cooked must, greater maturation, to seek the greatest density, the greatest aroma, the greatest character. This classification should be understood as a journey to discover increasingly particular flavours and aromas, created to give a unique imprint to your foods.

Ingredients and values

The ingredients are few, simple and natural: cooked grape must and wine vinegar. Without the addition of additives or preservatives. The genuineness and quality of the raw materials are the heart of our production process, which aims to preserve the integrity of the ingredients and create a healthy product. The choice to use only natural ingredients gives this balsamic an authentic taste and a unique consistency, which make it particularly appreciated by gourmets and lovers of healthy and quality cuisine.

Aroma and flavour

An unmistakable scent for the notes of must, fine vinegar and ancient woods of the barrels. In the flavour we find all the notes already perceived by the scent, then remains the aftertaste of ripe fruits, particularly pleasant and persistent. This Balsamic Vinegar is distinguished mainly by its particularly high density, its structure is born thanks to its maturation in the historic barrels of our vinegar factory. Here it absorbs notes from the precious woods which since ancient times have been in constant contact with the musts that in the barrel mature one after the other. A process that does not return large quantities but certainly a quality of product with great taste value.

Packaging and availability

The product is presented in an exclusive 25,36fl.oz (750ml) bottle, sealed with red lacquer to highlight its preciousness, this attention to packaging is reserved by us for a balsamic of extreme quality but of limited quantity, because our oldest barrels are not sufficient for large-scale production.
