Descrizione completa
Nestled in the scenic countryside of Reggio Emilia, this experience takes you on a journey through over 130 years of history, tradition, and craftsmanship. Set against the backdrop of rolling vineyards, the historic estate opens its doors to visitors eager to discover the profound connection between land, family, and the artistry behind winemaking and traditional balsamic vinegar production.
The tour begins with a walk through the family’s expansive vineyards, which span over 80 hectares. Each vine is carefully tended, following sustainable and organic practices that reflect the family’s deep respect for the land. As you stroll through the lush rows of Lambrusco grapes, you’ll learn about the vineyard’s rich history, dating back to 1890, when Remigio Medici first envisioned transforming his family’s land into one of Italy’s most respected wine estates.Your visit then takes you to the heart of the estate: the Acetaia. The Acetaia is where the iconic Balsamic Vinegar Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia DOP is crafted—a process that involves the slow aging of trebbiano grape must in a series of wooden barrels, some of which are over a century old. As you explore the attic-like space, you’ll encounter rows of barrels arranged in "batterie," each made from different types of wood, including oak, chestnut, and cherry. These barrels impart unique aromas and flavors to the vinegar over the course of 12 to 25 years or more, producing the rich, complex balsamic vinegar beloved around the world.
Guided by passionate experts, you’ll delve into the details of this intricate process, from the careful selection of grapes to the precise control of the aging environment. You'll learn how seasonal temperature changes—a hallmark of the Emilia-Romagna region—play a crucial role in shaping the character of the vinegar, adding depth and complexity to each batch.
After this deep dive into the art of balsamic vinegar making, the highlight of the visit awaits: a guided tasting of three distinct traditional balsamic vinegars, each showcasing the nuanced differences created by varying aging periods. As the liquid gold glistens in your tasting spoon, you’ll experience the full spectrum of flavors, from the delicate balance of sweet and sour to the profound depth of a vinegar aged for decades.
These traditional vinegars, certified DOP, are a true testament to the dedication and patience required to master this time-honored craft.The experience doesn’t end there. The estate is also home to a charming wine museum, housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century building. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the past with a collection of vintage tools and equipment used in winemaking and grape cultivation. As you explore the exhibits, you’ll gain insight into the evolution of winemaking techniques and the enduring traditions that continue to shape the region’s world-renowned wines today.
Whether you're a food lover, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, this visit to the estate promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of one of Italy’s most treasured gastronomic traditions.
