In these environments the Balsamic Vinegars PDO and IGP begin to age in a natural way, with the passage of time begins the physical chemical transformation that transforms the sugars of grapes into alcohol and then into acetic acid, finally the heat of the summer of the coming years creates a process of evaporation of the water contained in the must making it become dense and finally the wooden barrels transform the product of brown color – clear in the characteristic black or better to say dark brown typical of Balsamic Vinegar.
