Acetaia Villa San Donnino

Production of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and Balsamic Condiment. The Villa of Vinegar in Modena On March 14th 1910 the project of the Villa was submitted on behalf of Lieutenant Claudio San Donnino. It was later to become an exquisite example of Emilia Romagna "liberty". Frescoes and decorations by Aroldo Bonzaghi (1887-1918) with evocative and voluptuous "dannunzian" allegories generate a magical atmosphere. In that extraordinary place, Davide and Cristina invite you to taste special products of Villa San Donnino.

An amazing place, beautiful grounds and lovely instructor. My wife and I enjoyed our visit to the Acetaia. The lady who described the process was very informative and funny. The tasting was also very good and it was interesting to taste the difference between the years.

Acetaia del Cristo Societa Agricola s.s.

At the Acetaia del Cristo since 4 generations we are working in order to pass on the cultural heritage and charm of TRADITIONAL BALSAMIC VINEGAR of MODENA, which in the past was restricted to family use and closely guarded in the attics of our forefathers. To date, we can still claim we are the most important world producer of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, thanks to 2000 casks exclusively used to produce Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO (Protected Designation of Origin). It is us personally, along with our families, who carry out every single step in full compliance with the most ancient traditions and the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) regulations: from cultivating our organically farmed grapes, to vintage, must cooking and the delicate drawing, decanting and topping-up operations.

Folicello

Folicello is the name of our organic farm which relies entirely on the naturalness of its product, with sincere passion for the genuineness and the environment. The refusal of chemicals, both in the cultivation that in wine-making, involves a repertoire of alternative strategies that recovers the traditional methods, but also exploits the good steps of the research that provides natural products and innovative techniques. The characteristics of the organic farmer are therefore a rigorous professionalism and the loving care for its products. During these years of passions, several projects are born, some already implemented, like our Grape Juice with important nutritional values, our wines without sulfites including the first sparkling white wine Pignoletto without sulfites, and others still to be realized. We hope to have the pleasure to know you and let you taste our products... Antonella and Marco

Lovely little museum, shows history of family of producers and the balsamic vinegar is made, with tour around storage barrels area. Then to the tasting. Tasted a big selection of various ages and pedigrees which really helped me understand the subtle differences. Very worthwhile trip, just wish I could have brought more home. Plus they provided a gorgeous pannetone for us to share.

Sophia is amazing!!!! We contacted her 6 days before visiting Modena. We had originally booked a Pagani factory tour for the morning and a Maserati factory tour for the afternoon. The Maserati factory tour was cancelled by Maserati last minute so we had time available in our plan. We reached out to Sophia and asked if she could plan out a private tour for us around our Pagani factory tour timeslot. I told her that we would like to see Balsamic Vinegar, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese factory, ham, Lambrusco Wine and lunch if we can fit it all in. She did her magic and contacted Pagani to pull some strings to rearranged our factory tour time to fit everything in. On the day of the private tour, Thomas, our friendly driver, welcomed us at the train station in Castelfranco. We drove to Acetaia Malagoli Daniele where we met Angelica, Sophia and Sophia's lovely parents. We learned all about balsamic vinegar and got a chance to do a tasting. It was so moving to hear about the history and see the proud that they have for their "black gold". Our next stop was a local Parmigiano Reggiano cheese factory. We had a chance to walk through the factory and see each part of the process. We met the owner of the factory, Terry who was a super sweet lady. And then we try out the cheese ... it was delicious. Our 3rd stop was a private visit at the Stanguellini Museum. We had the museum to ourselves ... my husband was in heaven. The museum manager walked us through the history of the Stanguellini family, their passion for racing and cars, the development of their designs. The private collection of race cars and luxury cars was insane. Our next stop was lunch at Trattoria Bianca in Modena. Sophia picked it for us and it was fantastic. Great food, great wine, great service. After lunch, we visited Pagani for their showroom and factory tour. Amazing tour!!! Last stop was the ham museum (MuSa-Museo della salumeria) for a private guided tour and tasting. It was a small museum but very interested. Thomas drove us back to our hotel in Modena from the ham museum. All in all ... the 2 of us had an amazing day!!! Sophia and Angelica were fantastic hosts and Thomas was an awesome driver who waited for us at every stop. BRAVO to Sophia and her team!!!

Let’s start with our guide Stefania that was amazing, pleasant and knowledgeable and gave us such a good vibe that made the whole visit really worth it. (Costs 15 euro). This is a family run place so you get to meet the mother that still works there and the son that runs the whole place. They have an interesting array of products from the classical Lambrusco to a champagne like wine. We had a vast tasting and visited also the small balsamic production they have ( though I would go to the near by acetaia which bears the same name and have a much bigger selection) Remember that You have to book your visit Worth it
