Giuseppe Giusti – 5 Medaglia d'Oro – Aceto Balsamico di Modena

The Giuseppe Giusti Aceto Balsamico di Modena 5 Medaglia d'Oro, Banda Rossa, was originally a gift to family members, which Giuseppe proudly presented to showcase the Giusti vinegar production and its special quality.

It is characterized by an unmistakable complexity and aromatic richness. Among other things, the Banda Rossa shows notes of plums, black cherries and a sweet spice that comes from the old woods in which it has matured. A variety of flavors that lingers long after tasting.

This Aceto Balsamico di Modena, with its great density and tremendous body, is perfect for seasoning a wide variety of preparations and makes your dishes even more multi-layered with its intensity.

The Giuseppe Giusti Aceto Balsamico di Modena 5 Medaglia d'Oro consists exclusively of cooked grape must and aged wine vinegar. The Banda Rossa matured in French oak barrels from the years 1700-1800. Only a limited quantity is bottled annually in the typical Champagnotta bottles. This Aceto Balsamico is the pride of the Acetaia; it is wonderfully balanced and has a noticeable density of 1.34.

Giuseppe Giusti – Balsamic Vinegar

The history of the oldest and multi-award-winning balsamic vinegar producer Giusti dates back to the 16th century. For 17 generations, the traditional methods, recipes, and secrets surrounding Aceto Balsamico vinegar have been passed down. This has led to a unique success story for the Giusti Aceto Balsamico family.

Giuseppe Giusti was one of the first to put into writing the rules for making a "perfect balsamic vinegar" after centuries of oral tradition. The text, written in 1863 for the agricultural exhibition in Modena, names the choice of grapes, the quality of the wooden barrels, and the aging time as the golden basic ingredients for the best balsamic vinegar. The care of the raw materials, the long aging time, and especially the availability of barrels that have been in use in the vinegar factory for centuries are the elements that still make Giusti vinegar so special and valuable today.

That is why we offer you the Giuseppe Giusti Aceto Balsamico vinegars from the Collezione Storia – the historical range. This selection consists of five Aceto Balsamico di Modena vinegars with different recipes and degrees of aging, which have been created over the years by various generations of the family and awarded a multitude of medals: featuring the first historical Giusti label, designed at the beginning of the 20th century, classified with the family's great pride, the medals from the World Exhibitions of the late 19th century, bottled in the historic Champagnotta bottle shape.
