Discover Ca Di Sola: Wine, Landscape and Culture

Ca' di Sola offers several clearly distinct focal points for an individually planned trip: wine, protected landscapes, historical traces and nature by the water. Depending on your interests, you can put culinary experiences, cultural history, family time or a longer cycling tour at the centre of your itinerary. When choosing accommodation, the main consideration is therefore which of these aspects you want to shape your days.

Wine and Local Specialities

At the Chiarli site in Ca' di Sola, guided tours of the vineyards and winery are offered. These are complemented by personalised tastings, which can also include traditional cuisine. Cantina di Chiarli is located at Via Belvedere 8 in Ca' di Sola. Tours of the vineyards and winery may also include access to the Galleria Chiarli. This allows you to focus the culinary part of your trip on wine, tastings and traditional cuisine.

Landscape and Historical Traces

The Valle del Guerro area between Ca' di Sola and Castelvetro, within the municipality of Castelvetro di Modena, was declared to be of significant public landscape interest and placed under protection pursuant to Article 136 of the Italian Cultural and Landscape Heritage Protection Code. For cultural and historical interests, the former E. Cialdini primary school in Ca' di Sola at Via Statale 11 is also significant; it has been protected under a D.C.R. dated 17 July 2019.

An archaeological site in Ca' di Sola was associated with an urban-rural villa on the basis of numerous coin finds. Its use is dated from the late Republican period to the 2nd century AD. The historical perspective thus extends from a protected school building from more recent times to traces of a considerably earlier settlement and history of use.

Nature by the Water and Cycling

At Il Lago Parco, the lake and the adjacent area are designated for sport fishing according to the “catch and release” principle. Il Lago Parco is completely fenced and is considered suitable for families. Nature by the water can therefore be viewed here as a separate focus alongside wine and culture.

Cycling Route 6, “Ma che bel Castello: dalla pianura all’Appennino”, is 107 kilometres long. Its distance makes it a clearly defined option for travellers who want to plan an extended cycling tour as a separate item on their itinerary and do not want to focus their stay exclusively on short sightseeing trips.

Planning Guidance for Your Trip

On Wednesday, 11 June, the final section of the new Pedemontana between Provincial Road 17 near Ca' di Sola and Via del Cristo in Castelnuovo Rangone was opened to traffic. The Museo dell'aceto balsamico tradizionale is also located in the vicinity of Ca' di Sola. When choosing your accommodation, these different focal points can serve as a practical guiding question: Would you like to focus on wine and tastings, landscape and history, nature by the water or a longer cycling tour?
