Calvene

Resting right beneath the steep southern slopes of the Asiago Plateau, Calvene benefits from alpine breezes that cool its sunny foothills. This unique microclimate shapes its 16 protected denominations. Here, the local clay soils nurture grapes for the Vicenza DOC, a wine designation spanning a zone of 81 municipalities. The cool foothill air is also ideal for curing Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, a traditional garlic-scented salami produced across 113 local communes. These geographic transitions define Calvene's gastronomic identity, bridging high alpine pastures and fertile lowland vineyards to craft distinctive regional specialties.
