Pero Misso della Lessinia
Lessinia Misso Pear
About 200 trees are left, scattered through the Valpantena and the Mezzane and Illasi valleys and, in better numbers, the upper Valpolicella. The pears are medium-small and green with faint reddish markings at picking, and they have to be ripened after it.
