ACETIFICIO BRIVIO

The story of Acetificio Brivio is closely intertwined with that of my family and began more than 180 years ago in the hills of Calco, a municipality in the Lecco province, close to Lombardy’s Prealps and overlooking the banks of the Adda river. This particular geographical conformation has always guaranteed ideal, temperate climates to the entire area. In 1845 Luigi Pizzagalli, after an apprenticeship with the Marquis of Albese con Cassano, decided to start his own vinegar production, founding “Acetificio Pizzagalli”. This is the dawn of what has become a family business for five generations now, a business that continues to focus and specialise in the production of the finest wine vinegar and food seasonings, using exclusively raw materials of Italian origin, in full respect of the old tradition of the original “maestri acetai” (master vinegar makes).
