This recipe is one of my all-time favorites when I teach. It came from the Trattoria Montagliari in Greve in Chianti. The original owner, Giovanni Cappelli has passed away, but his recipes live on! He was the James Beard of Chianti. He began producing a traditional style balsamic vinegar in Chianti in the late 60's and served it on gelato. Being American I adore ice cream on my hot apple pie- this is a marriage made in heaven.
