What grows here
Argelato
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated in the fertile lowlands of the Reno Galliera territory just north of Bologna, Argelato nurtures 18 protected denominations. This agricultural landscape, defined by its historic river plains, is the homeland of Castelfranco Emilia IGT wines and the tender Asparago verde di Altedo IGP. The area's silty soils also yield the celebrated Patata di Bologna DOP. Today, the municipality hosts 3 certified producers keeping these distinct culinary traditions alive, with 2 of them opening their cellars and farms to visitors looking for an authentic taste of the Emilian countryside.
