ITALY

Acetaia Terra del Tuono is a very unique company... From ancient traditions!

The oldest barrels date back to 1892, since when there’s a historical memory of the beginning of the production activity.

The Founder of the Company chose Corticella after carefully weighing the territory. The location of our main Vinegar Factory, on the foothills of the thin strip of land between the Secchia and Tresinaro Rivers, is very special and particular. In this area, summers are hot and arid, while winters are severe, with a chill that penetrates into the heart of the barrels. It is a special micro-climate which creates ideal conditions for the summer oxidation and evaporation of the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, while the winter chills favours sedimentation, guaranteeing decantation and limpidity.

The process is completely carried out inside our Company. Even the grapes are cultivated with passion in our vineyards. We grow a big range of varieties: Trebbiano, Occhio di Gatto, Marzemino, Spergola; and among the Lambrusco’s cultivars, Marani, Salamino, Maestri and Grasparossa. And last but not the least, Ancellotta also appears in our blends. The musts of different fragrances are blended with care, following our Family’s old traditional recipes, in order to achieve a perfect bouquet of scents.
