The ‘batterie’ (set of ageing barrels) passed down by the successive generations of Pedroni are the secret to the quality of the family’s exceptional balsamic vinegar. Giuseppe is the sixth generation of the Pedroni family to be involved in the business. He uses the ancient stocks he has inherited to create blends that consistently place the Pedroni ‘aceto’ at the top of the quality tree. The stock is made from wine from their own 10 hectares of vineyard, concentrated in a cooker for 24 – 36 hours at 95°C. This slow cooking gives the caramelised character of great ‘aceto’, which can only be replicated in industrial products (made from concentrated grape must) by adding caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pedroni vinegars have won 24 diplomas, in 45 years, at the ‘Palio di San Giovanni’, including the top prize on several occasions. The ‘Palio di San Giovanni’ is a highly coveted competition which takes place every spring. Achieving so much success within this competition is a testament to the consistency of Pedroni vinegar, attributable to Giuseppe’s 1,700 barrels of aged vinegar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eACETAIA PEDRONI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"acetaia-pedroni-vecchio-aceto-balsamico","title":"Acetaia Pedroni `Vecchio' Aceto Balsamico","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional balsamic vinegar is obtained from a cooked grape must and wine vinegar. Slow acetification is the result of natural fermentation and the gradual concentration of the vinegar occurs through a very long ageing period in a series of small casks made of different kinds of wood. For the Vecchio this is for seven years and the casks typically include mulberry, chestnut, cherry, juniper and oak. No flavouring or caramel is added, as is often the case with lower quality balsamic vinegars. This vinegar is marked by its softness and balance, and the aromas that develop during the extended ageing period. A dense vinegar, the Vecchio has natural viscosity and intense aromas. The flavours balance sweet and sour, with good depth and great acidity.
