Traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena FROM VINE TO BARREL
A SOUND FAMILY TRADITION

How did Traditional Balsamic
Vinegar of Modena Fabbi begin?

There are few completely natural products where man’s intervention is extremely limited and time is what plays the essential role. Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Fabbi is one of them. Our grapes, Trebbiano and Lambrusco, are harvested at the end of September and come from vineyards of our property located around the farm.

THE SELECTION AT ACETAIA FABBI

Our Balsamic Vinegar

Fabbi Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO is the result of centuries tradition, a careful selection of grapes typically grown in the Modena area, along with the art of must cooking and the refilling procedures that are carried out every year with the barrels of our vinegar cellar. Also our ‘superior selections’ of Fabbi balsamic vinegar go through the same treatment of passion, care and dedication.
