About Winery and Wines

Acetaia Sereni, with its roots in the early twentieth century, began producing balsamic vinegar under the care of Santina, who joined the Sereni family through marriage. As a housewife, she would prepare traditional Modena meals for her large family, often using balsamic vinegar as a key condiment. To meet her family's needs, Santina produced a few liters of balsamic vinegar each year, a tradition that has since grown into a renowned family business.

Today, Acetaia Sereni is managed by Pier Luigi Sereni, his wife Elisabetta, and their sons Umberto and Francesco. The family now oversees more than 1,500 casks of balsamic vinegar, aged in prized wooden barrels, and exports their exceptional product worldwide. In addition to their balsamic vinegar, the estate is home to over 1,000 olive trees, from which they produce a delicate and fruity extra-virgin olive oil, once again establishing it as a typical product of Modena.

In 2012, the Sereni family expanded their operations by adding a farm holiday center, Agriturismo Acetaia Sereni, located atop a picturesque hill. Here, guests can enjoy traditional Modena dishes, all enhanced with the estate's balsamic vinegar and olive oil, alongside local wines and produce from the estate's vegetable garden. The agriturismo also offers six comfortable rooms, providing a serene and relaxing stay amidst the beautiful Modena countryside.
