What grows here
Rio Saliceto
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rio Saliceto's identity is carved by water, taking its name from the historic canal that bordered Carpi and the marsh willows that once thrived in these damp lowlands. This fertile, water-shaped terroir is the birthplace of celebrated local specialties, sustained today by 3 verified producers. Within its borders, 16 protected denominations thrive, led by the exceptionally sweet Anguria Reggiana IGP, a watermelon shaped by these clayey alluvial soils. The same land nurtures the grapes for sparkling Reggiano DOC wines and the slow, decades-long barrel aging of Aceto balsamico tradizionale di Reggio Emilia DOP.
