Our vineyard's organic Trebbiano and other Roman grapes are grown at our mile-high elevation in New Mexico.
We use Italian balsamico casks made in Modena by the acknowledged master, Francesco Renzi. These casks lend flavors of seven classic woods: ash, acacia, cherry, chestnut, juniper, mulberry and oak.
Respecting Old World tradition, we age our balsamic for a minimum of 12 years. Extremely low humidity here greatly advances in-cask concentration and extraction of wood flavors.
We craft balsamic with a finely balanced acidity and sweetness, a viscous consistency, rare wood nuance, and a luminous depth of color.
Drip some on Parmigiano, grilled or roasted meats and vegetables. Or drizzle it over melon, figs, white peaches, strawberries and ice cream.
Authentically and exceptionally handcrafted in the American Southwest for your pleasure—and ours.
