In this way, salute Italian produce (5)
I believe the answer is:
soave
'italian produce' is the definition.
(type of Italian wine)
'in this way salute' is the wordplay.
'in this way' becomes 'so'.
'salute' becomes 'ave' (ancient Roman greeting).
'so'+'ave'='SOAVE'
(Other definitions for soave that I've seen before include "White wine from NE Italy" , "Dry white wine from Verona" , "Italian dry white wine" , "Italian wine region" , "Drink" .)
