About Castelli Red Wine Vinegar

Acetaia Castelli is a four-generation family vinegar house from Rio Saliceto, Reggio Emilia, producing exceptional balsamic vinegar since 1895. In particular, four generations — Poli and Iotti — have maintained the family’s commitment to quality across more than a century. As a result, Acetaia Castelli represents one of the most authentic and respected names in Italian balsamic vinegar production. Furthermore, the range spans Traditional Balsamic Vinegar DOP through to everyday IGP balsamic, glazes, condiments and wine vinegars. However, the quality and philosophy remain consistent across every product in the Castelli range. In particular, the DOP products undergo solera-style ageing through diminishing barrels of mulberry, cherry, oak, ash, chestnut and juniper. Additionally, Acetaia Castelli belongs to the Consortiums that protect both the Modena and Reggio Emilia DOP traditions. That four-generation dedication to quality drives every decision Acetaia Castelli makes. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Castelli Red Wine Vinegar From Us

Using a quality vinegar well rewards understanding its character and matching it to the right application. In contrast to supermarket wine vinegars, an artisan vinegar has real complexity that contributes flavour rather than just acidity. As a result, a quality vinegar can be the most important ingredient in a salad dressing. Furthermore, different vinegars suit different applications — a fruity Moscatel suits a fruit salad dressing, while a robust Cabernet Sauvignon suits a reduction for red meat. However, always add vinegar to a dish at the last moment as heat destroys its most delicate aromatic compounds. In particular, these vinegars suit finishing a dish as much as dressing it. Moreover, a great vinegar used sparingly transforms a dish without announcing itself. Additionally, store vinegar away from heat and light as both degrade quality over time. That careful application rewards any cook who takes the time to understand each vinegar’s character.

How to Use Castelli Red Wine Vinegar

To get the very best from it:

  • Use as the acid component in a vinaigrette where the vinegar’s character is the focus of the dressing.
  • Add a splash to a pan sauce or reduction in the final minute of cooking for brightness and depth.
  • Furthermore, use to dress roasted or grilled vegetables where the vinegar’s character complements the caramelised flavour.
  • Additionally, use sparingly as a condiment drizzled over charcuterie, cheese or a finished salad.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

  • Good extra virgin olive oil for a classic vinaigrette
  • Salad leaves, roasted vegetables and grilled fish or meat
  • Charcuterie, cheese boards and antipasti as a condiment
  • Any preparation that benefits from a real artisan acidity

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. Furthermore, reseal tightly after each use as vinegar oxidises slowly once opened. However, quality wine and fruit vinegars keep well for several years unopened. Best used within 2 years of opening for the finest flavour.

However you use it, this product brings a depth and character that only carefully made artisan vinegar can deliver. Moreover, the finest vinegar always rewards restraint and a careful hand in the kitchen.

Acetaia Castelli: Generations of Balsamic Mastery from Emilia Romagna

 

Rooted in the Heart of Reggio Emilia

Acetaia Castelli is based in a beautifully restored 130-year-old farmhouse in Rio Saliceto, a sun-drenched village in the province of Reggio Emilia. The warm, dry summers and rich agricultural heritage of the region provide the ideal conditions for producing exceptional balsamic vinegar, with precious barrels carefully matured in the attic using methods that have been preserved for generations.

 

Quality Guided by Tradition

Quality has always been at the heart of Acetaia Castelli. Using only carefully selected D.O.C. grapes from local vineyards, every stage of production is closely monitored to ensure consistency, authenticity and excellence. This unwavering commitment to quality has allowed the family to create balsamic vinegars that reflect both the character of the land and the expertise of the artisans who craft them.

 

A Family Legacy Passed Through Generations

The origins of Acetaia Castelli can be traced back to Giuseppe Poli, who lovingly cared for his collection of wooden barrels and developed a reputation for producing outstanding balsamic vinegar. His passion was passed to his son, Aldo Poli, and later to his son-in-law, Danilo Iotti, who dedicated the family’s grape harvests to the production of traditional balsamic vinegar. Today, the business is led by Andrea Iotti, whose creativity and skill as a Balsamic Master have helped establish Acetaia Castelli as a respected name around the world.

 

Pure Ingredients, Authentic Flavour

Acetaia Castelli remains committed to traditional production methods and absolute purity. Their vinegars are crafted using only cooked grape must and, in some cases, their own wine vinegar produced from estate-grown grapes. No colourings, thickeners, caramel or artificial ingredients are ever added, allowing the natural richness, balance and complexity of the grapes to shine through.

 

Preserving a Noble Tradition

The family’s dedication to balsamic vinegar extends beyond production. Aldo Poli was among the early supporters of the traditional balsamic industry, investing in certified barrels and joining the newly established consortium dedicated to protecting the heritage of authentic balsamic vinegar. This commitment to tradition continues today, ensuring that every bottle reflects the values and craftsmanship that have defined the family for decades.
