What grows here
Fratta Polesine
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
West of Rovigo, where the Adige and Po rivers historically shaped the alluvial soils, lies the ancient settlement of Fratta Polesine. This specific low-lying terrain is the birthplace of the intensely aromatic Aglio Bianco Polesano DOP, a white garlic grown across a restricted zone of 29 municipalities. The town's mineral-rich ground also overlaps with the fresh Insalata di Lusia IGP, cultivated within a tight zone of just 10 municipalities. Here, the combination of ancient agricultural heritage and damp river-basin microclimates produces vegetables of exceptional sweetness and crisp texture, celebrated far beyond Veneto's borders.
