Roverchiara

In the agricultural lowlands of Verona’s southern province, the small territory of Roverchiara channels its fertile, well-watered soils into specific culinary treasures. This specific terrain is ideal for cultivating Riso Nano Vialone Veronese IGP, a prized risotto rice restricted to a zone of just 24 local municipalities. The damp clay soils also yield the bitter, crisp Radicchio di Verona IGP and nurture vineyards producing Verona IGT wines. Hosting 17 protected denominations in total, Roverchiara translates its quiet river-basin geography into a concentrated hub of specialized Northern Italian gastronomy.
