What grows here

Castellarano

16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Castellarano, a Reggio Emilia municipality of over 15,000 residents, translates its hilly geography into 16 protected denominations. Two verified producers actively craft these heritage flavors, most notably the Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa DOC, a wine restricted to just 15 local municipalities. The town's specific Apennine fringe terroir also defines the Reggiano DOC. These hills provide the precise thermal excursions and clay-limestone soils necessary to develop the aromatic complexity of Spergola and Lambrusco grapes, making this territory indispensable for authentic Emilian viticulture.
