Prelibato Rosé – Seasoning

Malpighi Prelibato Rosé – Rosé Balsamic with a subtle rose note from Modena

Malpighi's Prelibato Rosé is a pink-colored condiment based on white balsamic, refined with natural rose essence. Not a dark aceto and not an ordinary dressing, but a floral, fresh rosé balsamic that graces any table.

The Rosé Balsamic Prelibato Rosé from Acetaia Malpighi is made from the must of white Trebbiano and Ancellotta grapes, which is boiled down and aged for 5 years in small ash barrels to become Prelibato. Only then is the natural rose essence added, giving it its color and fragrance. With a density of 1.22, it remains light and fluid, with a fine, floral note.

Pink, floral, slightly sweet

The rosé sits in the bottle with a delicate pink hue; the scent is of fine roses, the taste slightly sweet with a bright freshness. A real eye-catcher even before you taste it. The delicate color comes from the Ancellotta grape, not from a dye pot.

Fruity, floral, lively—the rose notes overlay the light balsamic without overpowering it. A scent like a summer garden, yet it remains a fine balsamic and not a perfume. Such a rosé balsamic is rare and puts you in a good mood as soon as you pour it.

With fish, salad, and summer dishes

The rosé is used raw and added just before serving, wherever color and freshness count. Its floral scent would evaporate in the heat; raw, however, it is a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

It brings joy to any summer table, served with fish, crustaceans, and seafood, or over a salad with a good olive oil. Its delicate color and rose note make it an eye-catcher, yet it seasons as finely as its light brother, the Prelibato. It is equally lovely over strawberries with cream cheese, goat cheese, or in a summery aperitif. A few drops are enough to turn a simple dish into a small celebration.

Five years of Prelibato and a rose

The basis is the white balsamic Prelibato, for which the must of Trebbiano and Ancellotta grapes matures for 5 years in light ash wood.

The Ancellotta grape provides a touch of color, while natural rose essence perfects the aroma and tone. The Prelibato Rosé is one of the house's latest ideas, because rosé is on everyone's lips today—and not just when it comes to wine. Such a light rosé balsamic is more about creative playfulness than pure tradition, yet it contains all the expertise of the Acetaia. Acetaia Malpighi has been producing balsamic since 1850, now in its fifth generation under Massimo Malpighi, with over 3,500 barrels and vinegars in more than 70 countries.

“The taste of our balsamic is the most beautiful gift,” as Augusto Malpighi said, and the Rosé shows just how playful tradition can be. Hat's off.

A quick swirl, and the plate is fragrant

Kept in a dark, cool cupboard and tightly sealed, the Prelibato Rosé lasts a long time. It should only be added to the plate at the very last moment so that the rose note remains fresh. A quick swirl is enough to make the entire plate fragrant. The pink bottle is a particular delight as a pretty gift or for a summer party. It pairs wonderfully with a glass of rosé or prosecco as a small amuse-bouche.
