What grows here
Recoaro Terme
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Recoaro Terme sits in a high mountain basin in the upper Agno Valley, sheltered by the jagged peaks of the Little Dolomites. This alpine microclimate shapes the local agriculture, hosting 15 protected food and wine denominations. Foremost among these is Soprèssa Vicentina DOP, a garlic-scented cured salami whose production zone covers 113 regional municipalities. The valley’s cool, humid drafts flowing from the surrounding limestone heights provide the perfect natural curing environment, ensuring the pork remains tender and aromatic, reflecting a distinctive alpine terroir that cannot be replicated in the plains below.
