San Pietro di Morubio

In the fertile southern plains of Verona, this quiet municipality of just over 3,100 residents nurtures some of Veneto’s finest agricultural specialties. Fed by abundant spring waters, these lowlands provide the ideal marshy conditions for cultivating Riso Nano Vialone Veronese IGP, a prized risotto rice grown across a restricted zone of 24 municipalities. The area's chilly winter fog also coaxes the crisp, bitter crunch from Radicchio di Verona IGP. In total, 17 protected denominations overlap within this small territory, including the ruby-hued Verona IGT wines.
