Tuscan Red Wine Vinegar I.G.T. 2020

The freshest and crunchiest salads, some tasty sauces, the all-important marinades for game dishes and delicious sweet-and-sour recipes would all be decidedly dull without a splash of flavour given by wine vinegar. Indispensable for cleaning and preserving vegetables and other foods, its manifold properties were already known of in Ancient Roman times. From a nutritional point of view, it’s very low in calories but contains a number of protective substances present in the wine from which it derives. This is true for a quality vinegar, such as this, matured slowly for 6-12 months in oak barrels that have been used to age wine for the previous 5 years, a process which also contributes to the development of a bouquet of aromas which can sometimes be head-spinning.

Vinegar, like wine, has no “best by” date.
