Story 2.
Acetaia Leonardi

Welcome to the second episode of Italian Vibes, Nexion’s exciting journey
to explore the wonderful secrets of Italian artisan Botteghe.

“For us, balsamic vinegar is Modena’s black gold,
a priceless treasure.” With these words, Giovanni Leonardi shares his family’s tradition, proudly producing artisanal balsamic vinegar for four generations.

A precious creation, aged for at least 12 years and in some cases reaching the extraordinary age of 100 years always conceived as a gift for future generations. A product crafted with patience, passion, and dedication, the essential ingredients in addition to the celebrated Lambrusco and Trebbiano di Modena grapes to create priceless masterpieces of flavor.

Time is the secret key-ingredient of balsamic vinegar.

At Nexion, like in Italian artisan botteghe, time and patience are more than a virtue. They are the very foundation of excellence.

We spend a great amount of time observing, experimenting, and refining. By trying, failing, studying, and trying again, waiting for the perfectly balanced mix of gestures, techniques, and nuances that transform our materials into design masterpieces.

“It is a great pride to offer products crafted over four generations. We are the keepers of a deeply rooted family tradition, and I hope my son will carry it forward with the same passion”.

Italian style lies also in our constant innovation.
