Acquerello Aged 8 Years returns, a rice that tells our idea of quality taken to its highest expression.
After the success of the previous production, which sold out quickly in 2025, it returns this year in a special form: a limited-edition tin signed by Piero Rondolino, created on the occasion of his eightieth birthday.
The signature is a guarantee, the mark of someone who, since founding Acquerello, has been the custodian and guarantor of every phase of its process.
Eight decades of growth, experience and culture, guided by one clear idea: turning time into an ingredient.
Because aging, for Acquerello, has never been a detail, but a choice that has accompanied it since the very beginning.
When Piero Rondolino chose to become a rice grower, the challenge was already clear: not merely to preserve tradition, but to draw from it in order to go beyond it.
With a degree in architecture and driven by an unceasing curiosity, he brought a different perspective to rice farming, one shaped by intuition and method. A constant desire to understand what a single grain of rice could become: from storage to processing, all the way to the hidden richness contained in its germ.
From this vision came the choices that defined Acquerello: a unique patented process, the tin, and aging as a distinctive signature.
Today, his signature on the tin is not only a dedication, but the seal of someone who has built and safeguarded this inimitable standard of excellence.
Acquerello has become a reference point for the world’s finest chefs and for those who seek to express themselves at the highest level in the kitchen, in over 70 countries.
This tin therefore celebrates an important birthday and a clear idea: bringing the very best of Italian craftsmanship to the world, letting the result speak for itself.
