What grows here
Montorso Vicentino
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Home to 3,000 residents in the volcanic hills of Vicenza, Montorso Vicentino thrives on a basalt-rich terroir shared with just three neighboring communities. This restricted zone yields the golden, naturally sweet Recioto di Gambellara DOCG and dry Gambellara DOC. The municipality's mineral soils nourish 20 protected designations, spanning from volcanic slopes to the Monti Lessini DOC area. Within this specialized enclave, 4 verified producers craft these distinct wines, with 2 estates open to welcome curious travelers. Here, Garganega grapes find a singular expression, shaped by ancient lava flows.
