What grows here
Lastebasse
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated in the mountainous north of Vicenza province, the quiet enclave of Lastebasse, home to barely 170 residents, provides an ideal alpine-adjacent climate for slow-cured delicacies. The cool mountain drafts flowing through this valley naturally shape the aging of Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, a prized garlic-scented salami produced across a restricted zone of 113 Vicenza municipalities. This unique high-altitude environment also fosters the production of smooth Asiago DOP cheese. In total, 15 protected denominations overlap within this small territory, proving that even Italy's smallest alpine communities yield immense gastronomic character.
