The hilly area between Bologna and Modena has many riches to offer to taste. This is why the Castelli Ciliegi Wine and Flavor Road was born, the first food and wine itinerary in Emilia-Romagna that allows you to make a journey to discover the most authentic flavors of these places.
The gastronomic tradition of Savignano draws its origins from the position of the border between Modena and Bologna on one side, and between mountain and plain on the other. The typical mountain products, crescentine and borlenghi, coexist with typically Modena products, such as balsamic vinegar and walnut, and Bolognese, like fresh and stuffed pasta. Today Savignano can count 11 doc wines and is renowned for the quality of its fruit and vegetable production. The municipal area is very extensive and consists of 5 hamlets: Doccia, Formica, Magazzeno, Garofano, Mulino. The gentle hills that frame the town are suggestive.
