Acetaia Malpighi Platinum IGP – High-Density Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Aged 25+ Years
Profoundly rich, velvety, and exceptionally refined, Acetaia Malpighi Platinum IGP represents the pinnacle of Modenese balsamic craftsmanship. Made with an extraordinary 90% aged grape must and just 10% unaged wine vinegar, this balsamic achieves a naturally thick, glossy, almost syrup-like texture — the hallmark of a true long-aged balsamic.
Aged for more than 25 years in a succession of wooden barrels, Platinum IGP develops extraordinary depth: bold notes of ripe cherry, plum, cooked grape, caramelized fruit, and a warm, lingering finish. With no added caramel, no thickeners, no preservatives, and no artificial additives, this balsamic is a pure expression of the Malpighi family’s heritage — a fifth-generation acetaia operating since 1850.
Taycte/MySapori is proud to offer one of the most luxurious and rare high-density IGP balsamics available in the U.S. market — a finishing vinegar worthy of fine dining and gourmet home cooking.
Why It Stands Out
- Made in Modena, Italy by Acetaia Malpighi (est. 1850)
- 90% aged grape must / 10% wine vinegar — exceptional concentration
- Aged 25+ years in traditional oak, chestnut, and cherry barrels
- Naturally thick, glossy texture (Density 1.36)
- No caramel, no colorants, no thickeners, no preservatives
- Clean-label, fully natural & artisan-crafted
- Estate-grown Trebbiano & Lambrusco grapes
- One of the densest and most premium IGP balsamics available
- Imported in limited quantities for U.S. customers seeking true Modenese excellence
- This is balsamic for connoisseurs — opulent, layered, and unforgettable.

- Fragrance: Round, full, warm, elegant

Why This Product Is Rare in the U.S.
Most U.S. “balsamic vinegars” are:
- artificially thickened
- colored with caramel (E150)
- sweetened with sugar
- made from wine vinegar blends
- aged for months, not decades
- produced outside Modena
Malpighi Platinum 25-Year IGP is:
- authentically grown, produced, aged, and bottled in Modena
- made from cooked grape must aged for decades
- thickened only by time, never additives
- produced by a fifth-generation family acetaia
- protected under IGP standards
- one of the rarest long-aged IGP balsamics imported to the U.S.
This makes Taycte/MySapori one of the only retailers in America offering this level of quality and authenticity.

About Acetaia Malpighi
Founded in 1850, Acetaia Malpighi is one of Modena’s oldest and most respected balsamic houses. The Malpighi family controls each step — from cultivating Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes in their own vineyards, to cooking the must, fermenting, aging, and bottling on the estate.
Their philosophy remains unchanged after five generations:
To produce genuine, natural vinegar using only estate-grown grapes and traditional methods.
Every bottle of Platinum IGP reflects more than 150 years of Modenese tradition preserved with integrity and craftsmanship.
