Welcome to Episode 1064 Marc Millon interviews Sofia Malagoli of Acetaia Malagoli Daniele in this episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast.

More about today’s guest:

Sofia Malagoli, after graduating from high school, started studying Civil Engineering at University of Bologna as her father wished.

Yet, after her first year of University, Sofia had the idea to turn her father Daniele’s hobby for DOP Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena into a business.

Sofia spent her first six years of life in her mother’s family hotel. There, she used to spend a lot of time with many people with different backgrounds and nationalities.

Even though her dad wanted her to be a civil engineer like him, she never felt passionated towards that job and for this reason, parallel to the academic studies that she completed, she inaugurated her own business, namely Acetaia Malagoli Daniele.

Thanks to her entrepreneurial spirit and the support of her mum, Barbara, she promoted the Acetaia and her family's DOP Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena not only among family and friends.

Sofia started planning events at the Acetaia, welcoming local and international tourists, building a solid network and planning many experiences that authentically make tourists live as locals visiting some of the greatest companies of the area in a very authentic way!

Sofia's latest creations are represented by Sofia Luxury Chocolates and Lucilla Anti-Aging Facial Cream: new ways to enjoy the ancient tradition represented by the DOP Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.

Furthermore, she is the editorial coordinator of “Il Balsamico, L’Oro Nero di Modena”, the official book about Balsamic Vinegar of Modena (PDO & PGI), published in November 2020.

Last but not least, Acetaia Malagoli Daniele has now opened its own new shop in the city center of Modena, on the corner between Via Selmi and Rua Frati! At the new shop, Acetaia Malagoli Daniele offers its products, but also professional explanations on the Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO!
