Wine Balsamic Vinegar Extra – The Perfection of the Vine

Our Wine Balsamic Vinegar Extra is a tribute to classic wine culture. Crafted from selected quality wines and matured through a particularly gentle, slow fermentation process, this balsam captivates with its crystal-clear structure and multifaceted bouquet. “Extra” stands for that extra portion of time, the extra selection of base wines, and the extra-fine balance between vibrant acidity and subtle residual sweetness.

This smooth, thick balsamic vinegar extra from Italy is made from Trebbiano grapes grown around Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region. A wonderfully sweet delight with beautifully integrated acidity. This vinegar exhibits the same density as a “traditional” balsamic, but at a much more affordable price point.

Perfect for: Tomato & Mozzarella (Caprese), Carpaccio, Strawberries with Balsamic, Vanilla Ice Cream with Balsamic, salads, and more.

Ingredients: 70% cooked grape must, wine vinegar.

Product Data & Quality Characteristics:

• Raw Material: 100% quality wine, naturally fermented and matured without artificial accelerators.

• Character: Dry-fruity with an elegant, vinous depth—far removed from the pungent sharpness of industrial wine vinegars.

• Acidity Structure: Classic and present (6% acidity), yet perfectly rounded and soft on the finish due to maturation.

• Purity Law: No artificial flavors, no added sulfur (where technologically possible), and guaranteed free from caramel color.

• Special Feature: Slow maturation preserves the primary fruit aromas of the grape and transforms them into a complex vinegar matrix.

The Sensory Profile:

• Appearance: The vinegar displays a clear, dark brown hue.

• Bouquet: Elegantly understated—a scent of ripe grapes, nuances of dried meadow herbs, and a fine woody note.

• Palate: An invigorating freshness unfolds—the acidity is present but silky, followed by a long, vinous aftertaste that cleanses the palate and stimulates the appetite.

Culinary Applications:

• The Masterclass Vinaigrette: The perfect base for classic French dressings, refined with shallots and high-quality olive oil.

• Sauce Refinement: A dash for deglazing pan sauces, ragouts, or light cream sauces provides the necessary structure and depth.

• Seafood Companion: Ideal for marinating fish carpaccio, octopus salad, or mussels.

• Preserves & Pickles: Gives home-pickled vegetables (antipasti) a noble, preserving note.

• Kitchen Secret: A few drops in a lentil soup or a hearty stew elevate the flavors to a new level.

Expert Knowledge:

Wine Balsamic Vinegar “Extra” differs from ordinary wine vinegar through its higher content of extract substances. During maturation, esterification occurs, where alcohols and acids react to form esters—these are responsible for the floral, vinous aroma that makes this vinegar so valuable for high-end gastronomy.
