Hi!
A little more about Balsamic Vinegar:
According to Marcella Hazan in her book "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking",
the label on Balsamic Vinegar must carry, in full, the officially
established appellation, which reads: Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di
Modena.  All other so-called balsamic vinegars are ordinary commercial wine
vingar flavoured with sugar or caramel, bearing no resemblance to the
traditional product.
Balsamic vinegar, a centuries-old specialty produced in the province of
Modena just north of Bologna, is made entirely from the boiled down must-the
concentrated, sweet juice-of white grapes.  True balsamic vinegar is aged
for decades in a succession of barrels, each made of a different wood.
Enjoy!
