Leonardi

A unique condiment produced in limited quantities due to the geographical conditions of Modena

Leonardi comes from Formigine, in the Modena countryside, a land which has been offering for centuries to Lovers of fine foods one of the most important products of the Italian cuisine, the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.
The mission of Leonardi Balsamic Vinegar’s caretakers is to hand down the passion for this excellent product, strongly linked to family traditions and love for the local territory.
Only after many years of hard work among the typical Trebbiano and Lambrusco vineyards, respecting rules and secrets handed down through generations, it is possible to obtain the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, characterised by the right density, a dark brown colour, an elaborate bouquet, a pleasant acidity and a smooth, bittersweet flavour.
The Vinegar farmhouse Leonardi started its activity in the 18th century but it is from the middle of the 19th century that it has been specialized in the production of balsamic vinegar, using the own raw material.
The Balsamic Vinegar is a very unique condiment, produced in limited quantity because linked to the geographical areas of Modena and Reggio Emilia. The Leonardi farmhouse is surrounded by 10 hectares of vineyards mainly with grapes varieties of Trebbiano (white grape) and Lambrusco (red grape). It is a closed cycle farm, meaning they grow and tend their own grapes, harvest, ferment, age, bottle and sell the balsamic vinegar all on their own property. That’s an important distinction in the quality and flavour of their vinegar. This tradition is handed down by the Leonardi Family which repeats year after year the same production cycle of their balsamic vinegar, giving birth to an always renewed emotion.
