What grows here
Cino
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Cino, a municipality perched on the Rhaetian side within Lombardy's distinct Costiera dei Cech, offers a microclimate perfectly suited for specific agricultural traditions. This unique alpine environment, with its particular sun exposure and soil composition, is fundamental to the origins of 14 protected food and wine denominations. Foremost among these is the "Alpi Retiche IGT" wine, a testament to the viticulture across its 34 constituent municipalities. The conditions here also nurture iconic products like the "Mela di Valtellina IGP," a prized apple, and the celebrated "Valtellina Casera DOP" cheese. These specialties are intrinsically linked to Cino's unique geographic fingerprint.
