In order to keep his PGI status, the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena must be produced and matured exclusively in the territories of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Its production requires the use of grapes from only 7 typical varieties of Emilia Romagna , the only ones that can give the product its characteristic sweet and sour taste: Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Albana, Fortana and Montuni.
By law the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI must be aged in precious wooden barrels for a minimum of 60 days, while the same can boast the word ‘INVECCHIATO’ (aged), only after spending over 3 years in precious wooden barrels.
