Strada dei vini e dei sapori di Scandiano e Canossa Road of the wines and the tastes of the Hills of Scandiano and
Canossa
Tasting Italian
Travel!
This site intends
to conduct the tourist to the discovery of the reggiano territory, to
its high quality vineyards, and its culinary delicacies through the
unusual route of the Road of the wines and the
tastes of the Hills of Scandiano and Canossa,
area famous for the quality of life and for its quality products, but
also for the historical deeds of the Countess of Matilde of Canossa up
to the literary enterprises of the Boiardo and Ariosto.
A land that
still maintains a bond with the changing seasons, with ancient ways,
desirous to be discovered in an unusual and amusing way.
The Mission of the Consortium Born in 1999, the consortium of the Road of the wines and the tastes
Hills of Scandiano and Canossa, have found the valorisation of its
typical, local, Reggiano products, through the promotion and the
organisation of wine/gastronomic and cultural offerings to tourists, its
principal vocation.
At the gates oft city of Reggio Emilia,
to south of the Ancient Via Emilia, over the hills, the plateau and
through the valleys of the Enza and the Secchia, one will find 44
enterprises, each desiring to tell about themselves, between wine
cellars, agricultural firms, vinegar producers, cheese and milk dairies,
wine shops, restaurants and agritourism inns, shops of typical food
products. So, by car or by bicycle, one can come in contact with the
productive traditions, the naturalistic, cultural and historical
attractions of this small-large sparkling land, just like its Lambrusco,
sweet like its Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, tasty as its cured meats
and Parmigiano-Reggiano, rich as its culinary tradition.
The combination of these
cultural-wine/gastronomic elements responds to the motivations of a trip
for those in search of itineraries out of the ordinary, from the
dictates of the tourist market of the masses, and it is intended as an
opportunity to enrich one's own life experience.
The consortium, that has headquarters in
the historical center of Reggio Emilia, can propose organisational tools
for an itinerary that is most adapted to your taste, not so expensive,
brief or long, according to the desire of your palate and your
curiosity.
The advise is to "let yourself be taken
by the throat", as the Italian proverb states, which means to follow our
wine/gastronomic-sporty demonstrations to the banner of the Healthy
Rhythms of the Traveller.
