Saba Balsamic Condiment

Saba is a delightfully rich, sweet, syrupy condiment. It is made from Trebbiano and Lambrusco grape must. After the grapes are gently crushed and filtered, the mash, or must, is slowly cooked down to reduce by two thirds and concentrate the flavor. It is then aged for 4 years in oak casks. This thickens the must and further develops its flavor. It does not convert to vinegar. The flavor is full of raisin sweetness with a slight tart edge. This sweet-gently tart complexity makes if a perfect condiment for sweet or savory dishes.
