How Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is made in Castelnuovo
The ‘Acetaia Comunale’ is a small jewel inside the medieval tower with access from the Town Hall’s Council Chamber. The 'black gold' contained in six oak casks of 50, 40, 30, 22 and 15 litres has recently obtained PDO registration.
The ‘Acetaia’ is an integral part of Castelnuovo's tourism offer: in addition to producing a Traditional Balsamic Vinegar certified by the ‘Consorteria dell'Aceto Balsamico di Spilamberto’ (Traditional Balsamic Vinegar Consortium based in Spilamberto) and organising guided visits for students, it also promotes guided tours for tourists, to introduce them to the history of our local treasures and tradition.
Did you know that when you visit the Castelnuovo Rangone ‘Acetaia’, you can pick up the ‘Passaporto Balsamico’ (Balsamic Passport) free of charge?
