What grows here
Rolo
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rolo, a compact lowlands town of just over 4,000 residents in the northern reaches of Reggio Emilia, nurtures a surprising agricultural wealth within its small borders. Here, the fertile clay soils yield the sugary flesh of Anguria Reggiana IGP, a prized local watermelon, alongside grapes destined for the effervescent Reggiano DOC wines. These specialties contribute to a total of 16 protected designations overlapping this single territory. While most crops feed regional consortia, exactly 1 verified local producer crafts these delicacies directly within the municipality, keeping alive the precise agrarian heritage of this specific Emilian plain.
