Spritz season is here, and we’ve got the drink to kick it off right: the Modena Sunset. Our signature Balsamic Cocktail was created by the legendary Montanari family, master balsamic makers at La Ca dal Non.
Whether you’re channeling Stanley Tucci’s viral Balsamic Negroni, mixing a dash of balsamic with bubbly wine, or simply adding a refreshing + flavorful touch to sparkling water, this is the aperitivo addition that will take your outdoor cookout to the next level.
The Montanaris grow their organic grapes on the hills of Modena, harvest them at peak ripeness, and press them into the sweetest grape juice. That juice is fermented into vinegar and aged in wooden barrels in their dreamy family attic. 100% fermented grapes, no ingredients added, none taken out.
Light, fresh, agrodolce, and totally unexpected: this is a cocktail that turns heads and tastes like summer in a glass. Aged for 6 years, La Ca dal Non balsamic vinegar brings depth, gentle acidity, and natural richness with zero added sugar.
