What grows here
Palù
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In this quiet pocket of Verona’s southern plains, home to fewer than 1,200 residents, Palù’s water-rich alluvial soil provides the perfect habitat for cultivating Riso Nano Vialone Veronese IGP, a prized risotto rice grown across a restricted zone of 24 municipalities. These fertile lowlands, historically drained yet naturally irrigated by spring resurgences, also yield grapes for the expressive Verona IGT wines. In total, this small territory boasts 16 protected denominations. It is a specialized micro-terroir where slow-flowing waters and clay-heavy earth conspire to produce some of Veneto's most celebrated grain and viticultural treasures.
