The attic of a 17th-century villa holds the Biancardi family’s “Traditional Balsamic.”
Acetaia Villa Bianca, located halfway between the Modena Sud exit and the historic center, preserves the work of six generations in its precious barrels. A passion that originated with Cavallini’s ancestors from Castelvetro as early as the late 1700s, owners of vineyards and some batteries later handed down to their descendants.
Until the 1960s the business remained family-owned, and later with the recognition of the denomination of origin “’Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena,” the vinegar cellar grew and from about thirty barrels then, it now has more than five hundred.
Villa Bianca home of the Biancardi family, welcomes tourists and groups from all over the world, offers customized tours with different times and costs to tell and taste the “Balsamic” in a setting that collects period furniture and agricultural tools from past generations, a small museum of rural civilization.
Visits begin with a walk through the vineyard of typical grapes and continue in the attic to discover the tradition and taste Traditional Balsamic Vinegar dop at various stages of maturation. Visitors can also enjoy the product in combination with the flavors of Modenese cuisine.
At Villa Bianca you can exclusively purchase Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena P.D.O. in the two available types aged 12 and 25 years. The precious cruet and packaging is a creation of Giugiaro Design.
