Product features

In a land where balsamic vinegar is the product of excellence, known and appreciated worldwide, there is also another characteristic condiment, equally ancient and traditional. It is the Apple Agresto from Vignola, also known as Vignola apple vinegar, a completely natural condiment obtained from concentrated apple juice boiled in a direct fire cauldron, fermented, and acidified. A long aging process in barrels made of different woods produces a dense product rich in fruity aromas.

The Apple Agresto from Vignola is made from apple juice of local varieties such as Golden, Star, Gala, and Lavine, chosen for their distinctive fragrances and aromas. To start a batch of Agresto, the strong apple essence is mixed with the cooked juice. The two production phases, alcoholic fermentation and acidification, occur exclusively thanks to the action of natural yeasts and acetic bacteria, without the addition of other substances. Aging takes place in barrels of various woods located in vinegar cellars with specific climatic and health conditions.

The finished product is dense and dark brown with a glossy appearance; the aroma is persistent with a pleasant fruity note, the acidity is balanced, and the flavor is sweet with a slight hint of various woods, in a balanced harmony that makes it particularly velvety and intense.
