Bigliardi Laura - Azienda Agricola Rizzotti

In Nogarole Rocca, in the low Veronese plain, Bigliardi Laura's Azienda Agricola Rizzotti cultivates Vialone Nano in soils that favor this variety. Its fields fall within the area of 24 municipalities recognized for Riso Nano Vialone Veronese IGP, a restricted perimeter where the protected origin finds its ideal conditions: crop rotation that rests the soils and irrigation with fresh, constant spring water that accompanies the rice paddy's cycle. This is a monoculture of precision rather than extension, where value lies in respecting the agricultural rhythms of the Venetian plain. The semi-milled rice that results retains the character protected by this denomination: a grain designed for Veronese cuisine and for the long cooking times of risotto, capable of absorbing without breaking down. The farm's work is measured by the calendar of seasons, between submersion, growth, and harvest, and by fidelity to a specification that links the name of the rice to an exact territory. In this adherence—a variety, a water source, a perimeter—lies the recognizability of Vialone Veronese.
