ACETAIA CASTELLI
Rio Saliceto is a small village of around 6.000 citizens in the province of Reggio Emilia, almost at the border with the province of Modena. It obtained his own autonomy and independence from the district of Correggio in 1860; the name “Rio” comes from the river that crosses the village to lead into the river Secchia, that divides Reggio Emilia from Modena, to which it has been added “Saliceto” for a lot of lacustrine willows in this zone. It is an area particularly suitable for the production of balsamic vinegar for hot and arid
summers that create the best conditions for the acetic oxidation process, for the evaporation and therefore for the product concentration. The cold of the winter, if anything, facilitates sedimentation and decantation that are responsibles of the clearness. Acetaia Castelli bears the name of the road that it is located, a very old street, that was in the past the centre of the village, of which name does not derive from the presence of ancient manor houses or authentic castels, typical of feudal dominions, but becuase in that zone were been
built the first houses in stonework with two floors. In this farm house, greatgrandfather Giuseppe was the first who had the insight to product he too, for personal use. The good partnership of his wife Modesta who curated fillings up, the work of the “housewife”. Quality is the philosophy of this business, hand down of generation to generation, of people meticulous related with the territory, who reflects hitself in the election and gesture of the wine variety, in the continuous
updates pf the cellar where nothing is casual. After the 2012 earthquake it has been increased the space with the absorption of other little realities of the province of Modena. Now we can commercialize both articles born to the Consortiums who control P.D.O. (Protected Denomination of Origin) and P.G.I. (Protected Geographical Indication) Inside we have created a taste hall to host visitors, possibly by appointment, who want to taste every our typology of vinegar and typical product who exalt the taste.
TRADITIONAL BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF REGGIO EMILIA AND MODENA P.D.O. Products totally naturals obtained only by grapes of wine varieties Lambrusco, Trebbiano and Ancellotta, of those we use all the variety and the clone cultivate directly from ACETAIA CASTELLI with centuries-old experience, from that we obtain, after soft pressing, a must cooked by direct flame and open-air during five days. The three phases of the vinegar production
are: alcoholic fermentation, acetic oxidation and ageing. In winter the must is submitted by low fermentation and then it is moved to barrique for the acetification; after, by pouring, it is aged for many years in barrels of different essences and size woods. This is the most complicated and delicated phase, and here the experience of the Master of Vinegar is fundamental.
RECIPE Risotto with Parmigiano Reggiano and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia P.D.O. “lobster” stamp Ingredients: 2 white onions, 250 g of carnaroli rice, Parmigiano Reggiano, butter, Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia P.D.O. “Lobster” stamp, salt, pepper, meat broth, white wine. Process: Cut delicately the onion and brown it with a little bit of butter. Add rice and toasted it for two minutes, then simmer with white wine

and add gradually the broth until cooking and complete absorption. Remove the pot by the fire and cream with abundant Parmigiano Reggiano and butter, regulate with salt and pepper. Stand the risotto on a plane plate and complete with Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia P.D.O. as you like.

TRADITIONAL BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF REGGIO EMILIA P.D.O.
The first written proof comes from 1046: in the poem Vita Mathildis is mentioned an Henry III imperator of Germany’s scripted sent to Bonifacio, lord of Canossas Citadel (Reggio Emilia province), asking him about his special vinegar, that was “very perfect”, as he had listened. In all Reggio Emilia province the balsamic tradition of absolute excellence is transmitted for centuries.

By a publication of the Consortium of the safeguard of the Reggio Emilia P.D.O. it is possible to read: “Denomination of Origin Protected Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia concerns to the condiment given by grapes musts” This is important to understand that the condiments are balsamic vinegars but we cannot call them in this way because the laws of the “certificated products” forbid that. Condiments, without strict laws of procedural guidelines, are, substantially, the expression of the features of own Acetaie and, often, situate, qualitatively, between the commercial product (Balsamic Vinegar of Modena) and the historical product (Traditionals).
The company produces two types of condiments: now we analyze the “youngers”: they are created with the last grape harvest must, they are not got old, but are subjected to a quick passage in barrel to exalt the taste and the colour. They can be light, when in concentration sugars do not caramelize, or dark if they are cooked in furnace with high flame. During the manufacturing, a moderate amount of wine vinegar is added, who creates sweet and sour taste very agreeably and balanced.

Then we produce mature condiments: they are dark, because they are cooked in furnace, with a percentage of wine vinegar of about 20%. After a 3 years aging in durmast barrels, we proceed with sharpening the taste with an ageing that, with a minimum of other two years, it goes at twenty years in bottles of different woods like: mulberry, cherry-tree, pear tree, ash, juniper and a lot of chestnut. The during of the ageing determines, in addition to the taste and the scent, the density and the acidity: the more it gets old, the more it gets thick. This making process bring us to have products with an acidity lower than 6% and therefore they never can call Balsamic Vinegar of Modena even if the components and the making are the same, in different quantitatives, with different times.
