OlioCRU's Chapter IV Barricato balsamic dressingis born from the combination of cooked grape must and red wine vinegar, giving life to a specialty with a sweet and enveloping aromatic character.
To make it, the last harvested grapes are used, belonging to two varieties with distinctive characteristics: Lambrusco Ancellotta, known for its particularly dark colour, and Spergola, appreciated for its sweetness.
This combination helps define the product's identity, which features a dark, clear, and bright color. On the nose, it offers a sweet and persistent aroma, while on the palate, a pronounced sweetness emerges, making it particularly appealing as an accompaniment to fresh ingredients and dishes with contrasting flavors. A balsamic condiment with a distinctive profile, capable of adding a unique touch to both savory and sweet recipes.
Thanks to its sweet and persistent flavour, Capitolo IV Barricato di OlioCRU lends itself to numerous gastronomic pairings.
It's particularly suitable for dressing fresh salads, both plain and those enriched with more bold-flavored ingredients, to which it adds a pleasant sweet and sour nuance. It also pairs very well with meat carpaccio and bresaola, creating an interesting contrast with the saltiness and flavor of the ingredients.
Its sweetness also makes it suitable for dessert preparations: it can be used to enhance fresh seasonal fruit or to add an original touch to ice cream.
A versatile balsamic condiment, ideal for experimenting with new combinations and giving personality to everyday recipes.
