La Vecchia Dispensa

From Castelvetro, Modena, Roberta Pelloni and her husband Marino are not only the owners of a popular restaurant in town, they are also the passion and the expertise behind the precious bottles of Balsamic vinegar they produce in an old building near the Piazza della Dama.

By fermenting the must of Trebbiano grapes in barrels of costly woods, Roberta is able the give us the agridolce (sweet and sour) taste and very pronounced fruits flavors such as prune and sour cherry in their vinegars.

The name Vecchia Dispensa is a reference to an old style pantry traditionally used to store the fruits of summer's warmth in order to survive the cold winter.
