What grows here
Castelnovo ne' Monti
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Serving as the primary high-altitude hub of the Reggiano Apennines, Castelnovo ne' Monti channels its rugged mountain climate into 15 overlapping culinary denominations. Six local producers harness this unique elevation to craft specialized regional delicacies. Chief among these is Prosciutto di Modena DOP, which cures to perfection in the clean, upland breezes. The territory also shapes the savory Erbazzone Reggiano IGP and the deeply complex Aceto balsamico tradizionale di Reggio Emilia DOP. Here, the sharp mountain air and traditional cellars transform raw ingredients into distinctive staples, far removed from the lowland plains of Emilia-Romagna.
