The natural fermentation and ageing of selected organic Italian grapes yields a white wine vinegar with a mild, fruity flavour, ideal for use in marinades, sauces and vinaigrettes. Unpasteurised, unfiltered and with no added sulfites, Fontana's vinegar is rich in live bacteria and contains the nutritious 'mother'.
Wine vinegar has a very old history in Italy where it has been prized since Roman times for its therapeutic properties and culinary uses.
