What grows here
Malalbergo
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated within the northern alluvial plains of Bologna’s metropolitan area, Malalbergo thrives on a damp, silt-rich terrain that nurtures exceptional agricultural treasures. This specific terroir is the birthplace of the prized Asparago verde di Altedo IGP, cultivated across a restricted zone of 51 municipalities, and the creamy Patata di Bologna DOP. Here, 2 verified local producers harness the lowland's fertile soils to cultivate these crops. The clay-heavy soils and humid microclimate of this Emilian basin shape the distinct tenderness and sweet flavor of these celebrated harvests.
