What grows here
Castelnuovo Bozzente
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Castelnuovo Bozzente, a Como province territory that reclaimed its municipal autonomy in 1948 after two decades merged as Mirabello Comasco, nurtures a distinct culinary identity. Here, the morainic hillsides feed the vines of Terre Lariane IGT, a wine denomination spanning a zone of 180 municipalities. This microclimate also shapes the curing of Salame Brianza DOP. The cool breezes flowing down from the Alpine foothills create the ideal humidity for aging pork, proving that even a small community can safeguard its share of the area's 15 overlapping protected food and wine denominations.
