March-May across Veneto, Friuli, Puglia, and Campania. White asparagus from Bassano del Grappa is the star.
Plan your Italy trip →Bassano del Grappa's white asparagus (DOP certified) is Italy's most prized. Grown underground to prevent greening, it's sweeter and more delicate than green asparagus. The Bassano sagra (April) serves it boiled with egg sauce (alla Bassanese), in risotto, grilled, and in creative desserts. Other notable asparagus sagre: Santena (Piedmont), Canino (Lazio, wild asparagus).
