Brendola

Home to 6,600 residents in Veneto's Vicenza province, Brendola marks where lowland plains meet the volcanic slopes of the Berici Hills. This transition zone dictates the microclimate for Colli Berici DOC wines, a local designation limited to 26 municipalities. The same mineral-rich soils feed the broader Vicenza DOC vineyards and sustain the heritage of Soprèssa Vicentina DOP. In total, Brendola hosts 18 protected denominations. The interaction of southern exposures and well-drained hillsides explains why these structured wines and cured meats develop such distinct characteristics right here.
