Academia Barilla’s aged balsamic vinegars are personally selected in Modena, Italy, by a panel of top experts through blind taste tests. Made with grapes found only in Italy, all are distinguished by rich aromas, full-bodied flavor and sophisticated, well-structured taste—all due to the high quality of grapes, the wooden casks in which they age and the timing of the transfers from one cask to another. This balsamic must was aged for eight years in oak, cherry and chestnut barrels; no sugar or caramel added. 8½ oz.
