2 - THE CAVALLI BALSAMICS
Cavalli Balsamic Vinegar represent “the evolution of the species”: they are the result of constant commitment and continuous research to improve the characteristics of Balsamic Vinegar while respecting family tradition.
The different processes take place in temperature-controlled environments, in this way the optimal conditions are created to promote alcoholic fermentation, slow and difficult acetic oxidation as well as promoting long aging in small barrels of different woody essences. The woods commonly used are oak, chestnut, mulberry, cherry, juniper. Often the maturation is completed in small barrels of mulberry and/or chestnut.
Cooked must of Trebbiano grapes is used, without the addition of thickeners, preservatives, colorants and aromas.
