What grows here
Castelnovo di Sotto
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the fertile lowlands of the Bassa Reggiana, Castelnovo di Sotto benefits from a humid, river-fed climate that nurtures some of Emilia's most iconic agricultural treasures. These flatlands provide the perfect soil for cultivating the sweet Anguria Reggiana IGP, a watermelon variety restricted to a zone of just 20 municipalities. The local terroir also shapes the sparkling Reggiano DOC wines and the patient aging of Aceto balsamico tradizionale di Reggio Emilia DOP. Today, 2 certified local producers preserve these culinary legacies here, with 1 open to welcome curious travelers for an authentic tasting experience.
