Pedemonte
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the northern Venetian foothills of Vicenza, the tiny community of Pedemonte, home to fewer than seven hundred residents, leverages its alpine-influenced microclimate to nurture distinct regional specialties. Among its 15 protected designations, the garlic-infused Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, cultivated across a select zone of 113 municipalities, stands out alongside the renowned Asiago DOP. This mountain-fringe terroir also yields Veneto Valpolicella DOP olive oil.
