When we were on the Modena leg of our food tour of Italy we jumped at the chance to visit a traditional producer and see how balsamic vinegar is made. We were amazed both by the process and the flavours we encountered. Set on an idyllic farm surrounded by 10 hectares of well tended vineyards producing Trebbiano (white grapes) and Lambrusco (red grapes), four generations of the Leonardi family have produced balsamic vinegar here since the middle of the 19th century.
