What grows here
San Polo d'Enza
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
San Polo d'Enza rises where the Enza riverbed meets the first Apennine slopes of Reggio Emilia, a geographic transition that shapes its agricultural climate. This specialized terrain nurtures 17 protected denominations, currently kept alive by 2 verified local producers. The rising foothill elevation directly influences the Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa DOC wines, which draw distinct minerality from the local clay soils. Meanwhile, the constant drafts flowing through the river valley help air-cure Prosciutto di Modena DOP, making this specific stretch of the Enza basin essential for regional food and wine.
