What grows here
Castagnaro
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
On the fertile southern lowlands of Verona's province, the small community of Castagnaro, home to fewer than 3,500 residents, channels its alluvial soils into highly specialized cultivation. This terroir is the cradle of Radicchio di Verona IGP, a prized chicory grown across a restricted zone of 55 municipalities. Beyond this winter specialty, the local fields and vineyards contribute to 16 protected denominations overlapping this territory. Notably, the local winemaking heritage shines through the Verona IGT, which spans 98 municipalities, alongside Veneto Valpolicella DOP olive oils, reflecting a landscape where micro-climate and agrarian expertise meet.
