In September 2026, various cultural and culinary events were held across Italy, with a focus on regional heritage. In Spilamberto, the Consorteria dell’Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena marked its 60th anniversary with ‘Una Notte Balsamica’, an event featuring guided tastings.

By late September, efforts to promote Modena’s gastronomic heritage intensified through the ‘Acetaie Aperte’ event. Organized by Le Terre del Balsamico, this initiative allowed the public to visit vinegar aging facilities to learn about traditional production techniques for protected products such as Aceto Balsamico di Modena and various Lambrusco wines.
