# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 890/2013 of 16 September 2013 approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Amarene Brusche di Modena (PGI)), Division 5.1: Specificity of the geographical area

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The area in which ‘Amarene Brusche di Modena’ PGI jam is produced is characterised by very deep soil which is generally fertile and well-structured, fairly porous and permeable, with essentially a silt-loam composition and traces of clay. Hence it is ideally suited to growing sour cherry trees, which need permeable, well-drained and cool ground. The particular structure and texture of the soil mean that it has good porosity and drains well, and therefore that the ground is well aerated. The area in question is criss-crossed by a dense network of natural and man-made waterways. The climate type tends to be sub-humid, and sub-arid in the lower-lying parts of the low plain around Modena; such conditions are particularly conducive to the cultivation of sour cherry trees.
