Why go

About Acetaia Pedroni

Acetaia Pedroni is a family business in Rubbiara di Nonantola, near Modena, whose story starts in the nineteenth century, when Giuseppe Pedroni bought land and turned an old Benedictine outbuilding into an osteria. He began using empty barrels to make balsamic vinegar, and the tradition has passed through the generations to the present day.

Today the family offers guided visits to its working acetaie, lunches and dinners at the Osteria di Rubbiara, and a range of Traditional DOP and IGP balsamic vinegars, grappa, liqueurs and Lambrusco wines. Giuseppe III, who took over in 1998, leads the business, and every product comes only from the family's own vineyards, with a seventh generation now starting to help.
