Cucciago

Cucciago, a compact Lombard settlement of just over 3,300 residents in the province of Como, sits at a climatic crossroads that fosters 15 protected denominations. Here, the southern pre-Alpine slopes shape the character of Terre Lariane IGT, a wine produced across a restricted zone of 180 municipalities. The local humidity and breezes also prove ideal for curing Salame Brianza DOP, a regional specialty crafted within 286 municipalities. These specific environmental conditions, where the Como hills descend toward the plains, dictate the unique cure of meats and the crisp acidity of the local terraced wines.
