Ciao Rheitz,
I hope you had a wonderful time in Tuscany, what were your impressions of San Gimignano?![]()
Don't worry about the request - now and then there are always some requests that vary from the norm but it goes to show how something, even a small detail, made an impression. Actually, most of our own travels are made special through moments such as the one you mention: a special meal, a particularly friendly shop owner or artisan who goes out of their way to explain how their handmade items are made or even the chef that comes out and asks diners how they're finding their meals (this in a small country side restaurant where it wasn't at all expected!).
Were you able to buy some of this balsamic vinegar to take home with you? It seems that this particular label is sold to hotels and restaurants which might be the reason why you cannot find it easily online, since most of the sales are wholesale.
You can try to get it direct from the producer: SanGeminiano or online from this online shop: Boldo
The only difficulty might be on shipping: this second website ships all over Italy and to all EU countries, but says nothing of further abroad. Being a liquid, there might be restrictions on selling/shipping overseas.
I recommend you contact both and see what they tell you!! Good luck, hopefully you manage to get your hands on it so that you'll have a great gift for this holiday season![]()
