What grows here
Rigolato
13 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated within the mountainous expanse of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Rigolato, a municipality of just 351 inhabitants, holds a disproportionate significance for Italy's culinary map. This unique alpine setting, characteristic of the province of Udine, provides the specific microclimate and traditional practices vital for products born here. Among the 13 protected denominations overlapping Rigolato's borders, the unique Brovada DOP stands out, a turnip fermented in marc that perfectly encapsulates the region's resourceful history. Its distinct flavour profile, along with the notable Grappa friulana IG, truly defines the gastronomic identity shaped by this demanding environment.
