Pedemontana Veneta is a charming and hospitable landscape area located between the provinces of Treviso and Vicenza, in Veneto. This area combines territory, culture and development prospects in a unique context.

The Pedemontana Veneta is crossed by a new Superstrada, an important infrastructure that connects 36 municipalities between Vicenza and Treviso, improving mobility and reducing traffic in residential areas.


The territory of the Pedemontana Veneta is characterized by the presence of 97 Venetian Villas, architectural masterpieces located no more than 2 km from the Superstrada. These villas are part of the 1,769 present in the pedemontana area and of the 3,828 scattered throughout the regional territory.

The region is also famous for its food and wine richness, with 153 typical areas within a 5 km radius of the Superstrada. Among these, 9 DOP products, 5 IGP, 4 DOCG wines, 8 DOC, 4 IGT, 119 traditional agri-food products and 4 Slow Food presidia stand out.

The Pedemontana Veneta offers a wide range of high-quality wines, cheeses, vegetables, cured meats and delicacies, including, to name a few, Asiago DOP, Morlacco and Imbriago cheeses, Grappa and fruit distillates, Sopressa DOP, stone-ground flours from ancient cereals (Mulino Terrevive), Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Prosecco DOCG from Valdobbiadene and Asolo.

In addition to the aforementioned Prosecco, appreciated and exported throughout the world, in recent years, native vines that had been forgotten have been re-evaluated, among which the Recantina and the Rabbiosa dei colli Asolani (Pat del Colmel) stand out.

In short, the Pedemontana Veneta is a must-see tourist destination for lovers of culture, architecture and food and wine. Thanks to the Superstrada, visitors can easily move between the beauties of this region, discover the Venetian Villas and taste the many local delicacies.
The typical products of the Pedemontana Veneta, which includes hilly and mountainous areas, reflect the richness and identity of a vast land with ancient agricultural and pastoral traditions.

The local gastronomy offers a continuous discovery of flavours and traditions. The highly prized Grappa Black Truffle (Bruno Ceccato) in the black scorzone, uncinato and black prized varieties, in the summer and winter versions.

The Pedemontana Vicentina boasts an excellent production of fruit and vegetables, including the DOP white asparagus of Bassano del Grappa, the IGP cherry of Marostica, the Durona of Chiampo, and the Torcolato of Breganze (Firmino Miotti), one of the longest-lived Italian passito wines.

In the heart of the Dolomites, the Miele delle Dolomiti Bellunesi DOP is produced in the Province of Belluno, easily accessible from the Superstrada Pedemontana Veneta. Thanks to the richness of the woods and pastures, the honey of the Belluno area has unique characteristics deriving from the typical flora of mountain environments.

The area on the slopes of Monte Grappa obtained the DOP mark in 2001 as "Olio Veneto del Grappa". Appreciated for its sweet and delicate taste and very low percentage of acidity, its organoleptic characteristics derive above all from the composition of the land, but also from the climate, usually without fog and stagnant humidity.

The municipality of Pove boasts the denomination "Conca degli Ulivi", the Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced here (Oro de Poè) in small but very precious quantities, boasts prizes and awards in prestigious international competitions. In the Asolo hills another native species called Asolo is grown, recognized in 2017 with the sub-zone DOP Asolo Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva della Pedemontana del Grappa.
The slopes of Monte Grappa are also famous for the Marroni del Monfenera PGI.

Chestnut cultivation is recovering in the Pedemontana del Grappa and Montello thanks to numerous events, such as the Monfenera Chestnut Market Exhibition.

Finally, in the Bassano area, the Bassano White Asparagus is grown, which obtained the DOP in 2007.

It has a characteristic bittersweet taste that distinguishes it from all other species of asparagus. It is tender and not woody, with a fresh appearance and smell. Harvested every day at dawn to ensure the highest quality of the product, after harvesting the asparagus are washed, cleaned and selected strictly by hand. They are then tied with a willow sucker called “Stroppa”.

This is an unmistakable characteristic of the Bassano White Asparagus.
And these are just a few examples of the food and wine excellences of the Pedemontana Veneta.
