20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Vicenza province of Veneto, the busy town of Montecchio Maggiore, home to over 24,000 residents, serves as a vital culinary crossroads where the Berici Hills meet the Lessini Mountains. This distinct topography shapes 20 protected denominations overlapping its borders. Chief among these are the volcanic, mineral-rich whites of the Lessini Durello DOC and the structured reds of the Colli Berici DOC. Local terroir also yields the renowned Soprèssa Vicentina DOP. Today, 3 verified producers craft these authentic specialties within the municipal limits, including 1 welcoming cellar open for public visits and tastings.
