What grows here
Lurate Caccivio
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Formally elevated to city status by presidential decree in late 2010, this Como province hub bridges the Lombard plains and alpine foothills, creating a distinct microclimate for curing and viticulture. Lurate Caccivio acts as a vital intersection for 15 protected denominations. Chief among these local culinary specialties is Salame Brianza DOP, a cured pork classic crafted across a select zone of 286 municipalities, shaped by the region's transitioning air currents. The same hilly landscape nurtures terraced vines for Terre Lariane IGT, bringing crisp, mineral-forward wines directly to the tables of this historic commune.
