What grows here
Cerro Veronese
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cerro Veronese, home to just 2,702 residents, shapes the northern edge of the legendary Valpolicella hills. This compact Venetian territory is one of only 19 municipalities permitted to craft the raisined, velvety Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG. Alpine winds descending into the Veronese valleys generate a dry microclimate perfect for appassimento, the grape-drying process. This natural ventilation defines the character of the area’s 20 protected designations, nurturing world-class reds and extra virgin olive oils in a mountain-foothill setting unique to this specific altitude.
