Hi, I'm Giorgio, welcome to our ancient family vinegar factory.

Together with my father Mario, President of the Consortium of Producers "Antiche Acetaie" and President of the Association of ABTM D.O.P. I share the passion for ABTM in all its facets, from production to the disclosure of its secrets.In the acetaia you can see numerous batteries including the one started by my great-grandfather Mario in 1905 still in production.

We will also talk about other important batteries for my family such as those started by my grandfather Giorgio in the early 1950s in honor of the birth of his children.

Thanks to our great passion for ABTM we have decided to open the doors of our house and welcome you to this magical world.

See you in Modena!

The experience was very good. We were picked up at the station in Modena on time and it was a short ride to the Villa. The staff were all excellent, the Balsamic information delivered professionally and lunch with Balsamic vinegar tastings was delicious.
Wonderful Experience in this Family’s Home!

Mario, the owner, was very gracious especially since we were late. He gave us an overview to “catch up” with group. The balsamic experience included the history of the family and their batterie of barrels. Then down to the luncheon where we tasted 2 different ages of balsamic and learned about and paired the balsamic with different ages of Parmesan and other cheeses. Luncheon consisted of several types of meats, cheeses and focaccia, limoncello and dessert. Staff was friendly and informative. Definitely worth a visit.
