What grows here

Castel del Rio

17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Castel del Rio bridges the modern province of Bologna with its deep-seated historical identity as part of Romagna. This cultural crossover fosters a unique microclimate where 17 protected denominations thrive. The star of these slopes is the Marrone di Castel del Rio IGP, a sweet, prized chestnut native to a restricted zone of just 4 municipalities. Nourished by the local soils, this chestnut defines the culinary landscape alongside the pungent Scalogno di Romagna IGP. The geographic transition from Emilian hills to Romagnolo traditions shapes every bite, making this enclave a concentrated sanctuary of mountain agriculture.
