Collection: Maletti

In Soliera, Province of Modena, in the rich, alluvial zone of Lambrusco di Sorbara, the Maletti family has been producing quality Lambrusco wine for generations. Their success notwithstanding, young Davide Maletti has decided to blaze a new path for his family in producing an excellent aged Balsamic of Modena from the wine and grape musts of select Lambrusco and Trebbiano varietals. Tasters misjudge this balsamic as being a 10, 12, or even a 15-year Balsamic. That isn’t just because it is made from carefully chosen basic ingredients, without additives of any kind, but also because of the closely guarded techniques which govern its aging. The balsamic also undergoes an accelerated yet regulated evaporation in former wine barrels of French Allier oak, resulting in a density and depth of flavor, intense aromaticity, and a clean delicateness of finish that belies its age and price. As one of our surprised Italian customers exclaimed, “... but it drinks like a 10-year!”
