PGI Chioggia Radicchio

PGI - Protected Geographical Indication

The Chioggia radicchio ("radicio de Ciosa" in Chioggia dialect) has large, rounded leaves, of a more or less intense red colour and a sweet or slightly bitter taste, which make up a spherical heart, sometimes flattened at the apex. It recalls the shape of a rose, hence the name of rose of Chioggia.
