What grows here
Cornedo Vicentino
18 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the foothill valleys of the Vicenza province, where over eleven thousand residents live, Cornedo Vicentino benefits from a microclimate shaped by alpine breezes. This terroir defines the 18 protected denominations overlapping here. Most celebrated are the volcanic-soil wines of the Monti Lessini DOC, a local appellation restricted to a zone of 27 municipalities. The high diurnal temperature swings also nurture the sparkling Lessini Durello DOC and the garlic-spiced Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, a traditional cured pork that ages perfectly in this specific foothill humidity.
