Le Aperte Balsamic Vinegar

In the province of Modena, in the heart of the lower Modena area, in San Felice sul Panaro there is the farm called “Le Aperte”. In reality, the toponym, which is reported in all notarial deeds of sale and succession, indicates, according to historical memories, a place or territory where the feeling of open and sunny is inspired by a horizon almost devoid of trees or spontaneous vegetation. The soil, so rich in clay, becomes, in fact, particularly arid during the summer heat and few tall trees, in fact, manage to vegetate in these conditions. The vine, on the other hand, due to its extreme rusticity, adapts very well to these pedoclimatic characteristics Furthermore, potassium, always present in very high quantities in such clayey soils, favors the synthesis of sugars. For this reason, from the grapes of the “Le Aperte” company, particularly sweet musts are obtained, suitable for the production of a good balsamic vinegar of Modena.
