Arcade

Within the Treviso province of Veneto, the small commune of Arcade—home to some 4,400 residents—sustains 19 protected denominations. Here, the gravelly soils deposited near the Piave basin foster the robust Raboso grapes required for the prestigious Piave Malanotte DOCG. This same terroir supports the dairy farms producing Casatella Trevigiana DOP, a delicate, spoonable cheese unique to the Treviso area. Arcade’s specific positioning on the Venetian plain explains this dual success, proving how a compact, river-adjacent territory can shape both bold, age-worthy red wines and soft, fresh cheeses of certified origin.
