5 Gold Medals – Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI

Giuseppe Giusti — 5 Gold Medals "Banda Rossa"

Five gold medals — within the classic Giusti hierarchy, this represents the highest maturation level of the IGP line. The 5 Gold Medals "Banda Rossa" is aged in the oldest barrels of Acetaia Giuseppe Giusti, developing a complexity that only reveals itself drop by drop. If you want to celebrate a special occasion with a special drop, this is the right choice.

Taste and Character

Aroma: cooked plum, dates, cocoa, a warm spice of old oak. Acidity: precise, perfectly fused with ripe sweetness. Consistency: dense, syrupy, draws a long, slow thread when poured.

What to use this Aceto for

Drop by drop. On a cube of aged Parmigiano, a hint of Foie Gras, a few strawberries with pepper, a Panna Cotta. Not for cooking, not for dressing — but as a final accent on a dish that is already perfect.

From the House of Giusti

Acetaia Giuseppe Giusti is one of Italy's oldest continuously producing vinegar manufacturers, founded at the beginning of the 17th century in Modena. The medal system on the labels harks back to the fourteen gold medals that the house won at international fairs between 1859 and 1900 — today, the number serves as a classification symbol for the maturation levels of the Aceto.
