Crafted from the concentrated must of estate-grown white Ugni Blanc grapes and wine vinegar, this balsamic aged in French and American oak barrels for one year.  Then another year aged separately in concrete tanks with oak staves. After aging, it’s slow-cooked over an open flame for nearly a week, reducing the volume by half to create a thick, velvety texture and deep, nuanced flavor, all without colorants or preservatives.

The result? A beautifully balanced balsamic that’s just as at home drizzled over grilled meats or roasted vegetables as it is over cheese, fish… even ice cream. As pure and wholesome as a good olive oil and just as essential.

About the Producer

Laur’s balsamic vinegar production is a testament to their commitment to quality and tradition. With their roots deeply embedded in both Italian and Argentine cultures, Laur brings the best of both worlds to their vinegar production. The facility in Mendoza operates with Italian know-how, ensuring that every bottle of Laur’s Millan Aged Balsamic Vinegar embodies the finest traditions of balsamic vinegar crafting.

Traditional Modena Method

The Millan Aged Balsamic Vinegar is produced using the traditional Modena method, a process that emphasizes authenticity and superior quality. The journey begins with the harvest of Ugni Blanc grapes, a local white wine varietal from the high-altitude Uco Valley in Mendoza. These grapes are meticulously hand-harvested to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used.

The initial stage involves cooking the grapes for hours until the 'must' is reduced to a thick, rich consistency. This 'must' is then aged for no less than one year in concrete tanks filled with oak staves, allowing the flavors to mature and deepen. Simultaneously, white wine must is transformed into wine vinegar and aged in French Oak Barrels for another year.

The final step in this meticulous process involves blending the aged Ugni Blanc 'must' with the aged white wine vinegar. This mixture is then cooked over a fire for seven days until the perfect density and flavor balance is achieved. The result is a balsamic vinegar that stands out for its thickness, creaminess, and intricate flavor profile.
