PONTEVECCHIO BALSAMIC VINEGAR The vinegar farmhouse Leonardi started its activity in the 18th century but it is from the middle of the 19th century that it has been specializing in the production of balsamic vinegar, using their own raw materials. In fact, the farmhouse is surrounded by 10 hectares of vineyards mainly with grapes varieties of Trebbiano (white grape) and Lambrusco (red grape). It is a closed cycle farm since all the production steps take place in the same plant. The Balsamic vinegar is a very unique condiment, produced in limited quantity because it is linked to the geographical areas of Modena and Reggio Emilia. It seems in fact that the special climate of this region, with high thermic shocks between the very hot summer and the chilly winter enables the grapes' must to ferment and maturate in the best conditions according to the traditional methods. This tradition is handed down by the Leonardi family which repeats year after year the same production cycle of their balsamic vinegar, giving birth to an always renewed emotion. So let's follow Giovanni, Clelia and their children Francesco and Clara at the mansion "Corte dei Campi Macri", they will tell you about the long and fascinating life path of the real Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
