VIOLETTA BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF MODENA PGI 2 GOLD MEDALS

With a sealed bottle reminiscent of the first bottles used in the 1950s, Mussini highlights its continuous effort to interpret the history of balsamic vinegar and also find new ideas for the future.

Violetta is a balsamic vinegar with 6 decantations, whose main component is cooked must. Clear and with good density, it is deep brown in colour, with reddish reflections. The aroma is characterised by intense notes of noble woods. Pleasantly acetic, with sweet notes of must, its flavour is naturally bittersweet, very balanced and harmonious.

Average density: 1.17

Acidity: 6%

Provenance: Modena, Emilia Romagna region

These are the three fundamental secrets that, from generation to generation, are passed down in Casa Mussini to guarantee a unique and inimitable balsamic vinegar, in addition to other sophisticated condiments: high-quality musts sourced only from selected vineyards (Trebbiano, Lambrusco Grasparossa and Ancellotta); the right soil for cultivating vineyards with a strong character; and the care taken in the preparation and aging of each product.

Casa Mussini

As is often the case in Modena, Casa Mussini also has a history rooted in the past. Mussini's originality lies in the history of its founders: two maternal cousins who, having grown up in rural Modena and shared a professional career in the ceramics world, at a certain point felt a strong desire for independence and the desire to reclaim a land and a culture that have so much to offer in terms of quality of life. Thus began a commercial activity named after the Mussini mothers, who since 1909 had been dedicated to the production of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena in the family vinegar factory in Magreta.

Over time, Mussini acquired knowledge, experience, and skills, capable of following in the footsteps of tradition while simultaneously applying the most modern technology and contemporary tools, coupled with a deep understanding of current food trends for a constantly improving product.

Today, Mussini's strength lies in the original fusion of its apparent contradictions: respect for tradition and a taste for experimentation; attachment to the past and vision for the future; valuing local culture and openness to international tastes. A dual soul that is also reflected in the current owners: Giorgio, who interprets external stimuli into original recipes, and Gabriele, who handles design to offer products capable of standing out at the point of sale for their style and personality.
