Camposanto

In the flat, fertile alluvial plains of Modena, bordered by the Panaro River, Camposanto thrives as a vital hub for Emilia-Romagna’s viticultural heritage. This moist, clay-rich terrain nurtures the delicate grapes required for Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC, a sparkling red shared with just 12 neighboring municipalities. Here, the local soils also yield the robust Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce DOC. In total, Camposanto hosts 20 protected denominations, including prized balsamic vinegars. The interaction of damp river basin winters and scorching summers concentrates the sugars in the local fruit, defining the intense profile of these historic Italian specialties.
