What grows here
Zermeghedo
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Despite being the smallest municipality by land area in the entire Veneto region, Zermeghedo packs immense viticultural significance into its tiny territorial footprint. Here, volcanic soils foster the Garganega grape, yielding the rare, sweet Recioto di Gambellara DOCG—a wine shared with only three other neighboring towns in its exclusive 4-municipality production zone. This compact enclave also shares the broader Gambellara DOC. Together, these hillsides contribute to 20 protected designations of origin, proving that Veneto's most diminutive commune possesses a disproportionately grand voice in Italy's agricultural heritage.
