Poviglio

In the fertile alluvial lowlands of the bassa reggiana north of Reggio Emilia, Poviglio’s clay-rich soils yield highly concentrated sugars in its crops. This specific terroir shapes the exceptionally sweet Anguria Reggiana IGP, a local watermelon cultivated within a select zone of 20 municipalities. These sun-drenched plains also foster the grapes behind Reggiano DOC wines. Today, Poviglio hosts 1 registered producer committed to these rigorous standards, preserving agricultural legacies that thrive exclusively in the unique damp microclimate and mineral soils of this lowland plains environment.
