Aceto
A 100% natural product, made exclusively from short-bunch Tuscan Sangiovese grapes, from Chianti region vineyards. Grapes, healthy and free from flaws, that are harvested by hand, at just the right point of ripeness, to maintain their integrity and highlight the organoleptic characteristics and particular qualities of the grape; its aromas, its imprint, natural components, and its natural acids and sugars.
A slow winemaking process is used, paying special attention and care of the delicateness of the process, to preserve the aromas and flavours of the grapes. No antiseptics, additives or preservatives, of any kind, are used. Fermentation is constantly monitored and ‘induced’ naturally, with the aim of obtaining high-quality natural Vinegars.
The heart of the process is a slow acetic fermentation at a consistent temperature, performed using a superficial static method, which invokes ancient d’Orleans methods: time-consuming, continuous monitoring, and requiring a real ‘nanny’. In this way, the product doesn’t undergo stress, and its aromas and special flavours are enhanced.
