Geography
Modena and Reggio Emilia cultivate myriad grapes with a signature concentration of sugars and acidity. Proximity to the Adriatic Sea informs the semi-continental climate and moderate rainfall that contribute to legendary grape-growing conditions. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is a long-standing symbol of the area’s culinary traditions and celebrations, while historic vinegar plants and modern factories draw visitors from around the world.
