What grows here
Santa Maria di Sala
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Santa Maria di Sala, within the Metropolitan City of Venice, boasts a landscape shaped by ancient Roman centuriation, a "graticolato romano" that has meticulously organized its fertile plains for centuries. This historical agricultural precision defines a territory where 15 distinct protected denominations converge. Among them, the local Riviera del Brenta DOC wine flourishes in a zone of just 40 municipalities, reflecting a unique terroir. The municipality also plays a vital role in cultivating prized produce like Radicchio Rosso di Treviso IGP and the variegated Radicchio di Castelfranco IGP, celebrated globally. This rich confluence of history and specific soil conditions makes Santa Maria di Sala a remarkable origin point for some of Veneto's most distinctive culinary treasures.
