In Socchieve, a municipality of dispersed communities with its seat in Mediis, the unique topography of Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia region forges a distinctive terroir.

Emblematic of local tradition is the Brovada DOP, a turnip preparation fermented in marc, reflecting the region's resourceful approach to food.
