What grows here
Altissimo
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
High up in the Vicenza province, the alpine slopes of Altissimo are shaped by the protected forests and pastures of the Lessinia Regional Park. This humid, high-altitude environment creates the perfect microclimate for curing meats and aging cheeses. Consequently, this single municipality participates in 15 distinct protected denominations. Among these, the prized garlic-scented salami, Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, thrives within a restricted territory of 113 municipalities, alongside the mountain-born Asiago DOP. Here, the rugged pre-Alpine terrain transforms simple livestock farming into highly specialized, internationally recognized gastronomic treasures.
