Origine 1977 – The Birth of a Legacy

Our acetaia takes its name from the year everything began: 1977. It was in that year that the first barrels were started, giving birth to a tradition that continues to this day with the same passion and dedication. Since then, time has done its work, transforming the must into a balsamic vinegar that encapsulates history, patience, and authenticity.

In the heart of the Modenese countryside, we carefully preserve every stage of production, respecting the methods passed down from generation to generation. Every drop of our balsamic vinegar is the result of years of waiting, of wood interacting with time, and of a territory that imparts its uniqueness.

Origine 1977 is more than just a name: it is a tribute to our roots, to quality, and to the love for a product that tells the story of our family and our land.

Origine 1977 is a tribute to the year when everything began: 1977, when Valerio Foca, driven by a genuine passion for Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP, started his first barrel set.

Guided by love for tradition and the desire to create something unique, Valerio honed his craft over the years, following the ancient methods passed down by the Consorteria of Spilamberto.

Today, Origine 1977 preserves over 200 barrels, each of which contains time, history, and the knowledge of those who, with love and respect for tradition, transform grape must into a masterpiece of flavor. Every drop of our Traditional Balsamic Vinegar is the result of decades of waiting, woods that interact with time, and a land that imparts its uniqueness.

Producing Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena DOP is not just our profession, but a family legacy that we continue to pass down with pride. Because every taste of our balsamic vinegar tells a story made of patience, passion, and deep roots.
