In the heart of the Marca Trevigiana, the Acetaia Bonfigliol represents a gastronomic art that masterfully blends the tradition of balsamic vinegar with the innovation and passion of Giuliano Barbon.
Located in Nervesa della Battaglia, this vinegar factory is a true alchemical laboratory where vinegar becomes a work of culinary art.

Giuliano Barbon, vinegar craftsman, leads this path of excellence using local varieties such as Raboso, Merlot, Cabernet, Glera and Pinot Bianco.
The grapes, carefully cultivated in the surrounding area, are the starting point for the creation of aged wine vinegars and balsamic vinegars of extraordinary personality.

In his innovative journey, Giuliano explores new woody essences, using amphorae and pumpkins as special containers to impart particular and spicy flavours to his white and red vinegars.
His dedication to the art of vinegar is evident in every drop of product, where tradition and experimentation intertwine in a harmonious union.

This Aged Fig Wine Vinegar is a handcrafted work that embodies the richness of the Marca Trevigiana area.
Produced from grapes grown and dried in the region, this red vinegar is the result of a natural fermentation that gives the product a unique complexity.

The vinegar obtained from this fermentation process is aged with dedication for several years in barrels made of various woody essences.
The presence of a possible deposit is a guarantee of the authenticity of the product, evidence of artisanal production and respect for the natural maturation process.

Selected local figs and spices are introduced during the maceration phase, giving the vinegar a pleasantly delicate aroma and a spicy character.
This fusion of flavors creates a unique sensory experience, highlighting the craftsmanship of Acetaia Bonfigliol.

The Territory

The Pedemontana Veneta is a charming and welcoming landscape located between the provinces of Treviso and Vicenza, in the Veneto region. This area combines landscape, culture, and development prospects in a unique setting. A new highway runs through the Pedemontana Veneta, a major infrastructure linking 36 municipalities between Vicenza and Treviso, improving mobility and reducing traffic in residential areas. The Pedemontana Veneta is characterized by the presence of 97 Venetian Villas, architectural masterpieces located no more than 2 km from the highway.

These villas are among the 1,769 in the foothills and 3,828 scattered throughout the region. The region is also renowned for its rich food and wine heritage, with 153 specialty products within a 5 km radius of the highway. Among these, 9 DOP products, 5 IGP products, 4 DOCG wines, 8 DOC, 4 IGT wines, 119 traditional agri-food products, and 4 Slow Food Presidia stand out. The Pedemontana Veneta offers a wide range of high-quality wines, cheeses, vegetables, cured meats, and delicacies, including, to name a few, Asiago DOP cheese, grappa and fruit distillates, Sopressa DOP, extra virgin olive oil, and Prosecco DOCG di Valdobbiadene and Asolo.

In addition to the aforementioned Prosecco, appreciated and exported worldwide, in recent years, native grape varieties that had been forgotten have been re-evaluated, including Recantina and Rabbiosa dei Colli Asolani (Pat del Colmel). In short, the Pedemontana Veneta is an unmissable tourist destination for lovers of culture, architecture, and food and wine. Thanks to the highway, visitors can easily explore the region's beauties, discover the Venetian Villas, and savor the many local delicacies. The typical products of the Pedemontana Veneta, which encompasses hilly and mountainous areas, reflect the richness and identity of a vast land with ancient agricultural and pastoral traditions.
The Producer

The Acetaia Bonfigliol, guided by the curiosity and talent of Giuliano Barbon, is an extraordinary example of how the tradition of balsamic vinegar can blend with innovation and experimentation. Located in Nervesa della Battaglia, in the Treviso area, the vinegar factory is like an alchemist's laboratory, where long and complex processes result in aged wine vinegars and balsamic vinegars rich in personality. Its balsamic vinegar production method is based on a process using cooked grape must, matured through slow acetification. The freshly pressed grape must is slowly cooked over a direct, open flame for approximately 14-16 hours.

The resulting syrupy must is then placed in steel containers where alcoholic fermentation and acetification begin. In spring, it is placed in small barrels of varying capacities made of different types of wood—cherry, mulberry, juniper, plum, pear, chestnut, and acacia—where the vinegar will mature for years. Each type of wood imparts different nuances of color, flavor, and aroma to the vinegar it comes into contact with. The topping up and decanting between the series of barrels of varying capacities, operations that require attention and skill, follow the "soleras" method. Thus, starting with 120 liters of product, after five years only 20 liters remain; a detail that illustrates the value of this product.

Aged balsamic vinegar, with its unparalleled characteristics, requires 12 years of maturation in the cellars stored in the attic of the Acetaia Bonfigliol. During this process, the vinegar undergoes constant concentration, imparting a richness of aromatic nuances. The balsamic vinegar production includes: Balsamic vinegar made from Merlot and Cabernet grape must; Black cherry balsamic vinegar made from Merlot and Cabernet grape must; Rabioso balsamic vinegar made from Raboso del Piave grape must; and "Mysticis" balsamic vinegar made from cooked Merlot and Cabernet grape must and macerated with herbs, flowers, roots, and natural tree resins. It's excellent sipped with a spoon or in a glass at the end of a meal.

For the production of aged wine vinegar, obtained from the acetic fermentation of wine, Giuliano also uses premium locally grown grapes, some of which are self-produced. The vinegar is then aged for several years in barrels of various sizes and wood types. The aged white wine vinegar is made with Glera and Pinot Bianco grapes, while the aged red wine vinegar uses Merlot and Cabernet grapes. Interesting and unique are the aged wine vinegars made with maceration of oranges and orange blossoms; figs with bay leaves and pink peppercorns; Radicchio Rosso Tardivo di Treviso; and the vinegar aged with dried Raboso del Piave grapes and maceration of rose petals.

Among the various varieties offered are: red grape wine vinegar in amphora, aged for several years in amphorae covered with leaves and chestnut soil, leaving the mouth open; and white grape passito wine vinegar (Malvasia and Solaris) in amphora.
The product range is completed by the Aged Honey Vinegar, made from wildflower honey produced directly by Giuliano, respecting the natural rhythm of the bees. Given the unique nature of this ingredient, it is the only vinegar to which high-mountain mineral water with a low fixed residue is added to lower the sugar content and thus promote fermentation. In this temple of vinegar, Giuliano follows the rhythms of nature, creating unique essences from the produce of his garden.
