Free guided tasting of all products in the Acetaia Malpighi Collection: Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Dark Dressings, White Dressings, Flavored Dressings, Balsamic Vinegar Pearls, and delicacies such as Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Chocolates and Saba (cooked grape must). The tasting is a 'vertical tasting,' designed to gradually accustom the palate to the many flavors and tastes of the Balsamic Vinegar, moving from the youngest to the oldest vinegar. At the end of the visit, it is possible to purchase the products from the Collection.

All products in the Collection originate from raw materials of excellent quality: the typical Modenese grapes from the Malpighi estate. The grapes from the vineyards undergo soft and slow crushing, followed by cooking in an open vat over direct heat. The result of these first processing steps is the must, which is the base and essence of all Acetaia Malpighi's products, possessing unique organoleptic characteristics."
