CONDIMENTO BALSAMICO - BALSAMIC CONDIMENT 30 TRAVASI
“The grapes at the heart of this condiment were harvested over 30 years ago. Then each year since, this balsamic creation was transferred from one barrel of precious wood to another. From cherrywood to chestnut, oak to acacia, juniper to mulberry to ashwood, each imparting their own velvety notes - these transfers (’travasi’) happened once each winter, for 30 years. That’s right - for an entire generation, the Leonardi family poured incredible devotion, patience and passion into this bottle. Now, you can add a few drops of pure passion to every culinary creation!” John Kirwan
