Sassuolo

Sassuolo, an active community of over 41,000 residents in the province of Modena, harnesses its transitional landscape between the Po plains and Apennine hills to nurture 18 protected food and wine origins. Key to this terroir is the Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC, a sparkling red wine shaped by the local clay soils. This specific environment yields a structured, intense grape that defines the area's viticulture. For travelers eager to explore this liquid heritage, all 3 of the verified producers based within the municipality are open for visits, providing direct access to authentic Modenese cellars.
