What grows here
San Mauro di Saline
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the quiet Verona hills, the tiny enclave of San Mauro di Saline—home to fewer than 600 residents—nurtures some of Veneto's most celebrated viticultural treasures. Despite its minuscule scale, this high-altitude municipality overlaps with 20 protected denominations. Its limestone slopes fall within the exclusive 19-municipality production zone for Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG and Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG. Alpine winds sweep down these steep valleys, cooling the vineyards to concentrate the grape sugars and acidity, defining the intense, aromatic profile of the area's legendary sweet and Ripasso wines.
