What grows here
Dazio
14 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Bearing a name that historically marked it as a customs point where goods were once scrutinised and taxed, the municipality of Dazio in Lombardy now proudly champions its own protected origins. This small corner of the Valtellina, nestled within the Rhaetian Alps, is intrinsically linked to the distinct microclimates and traditional practices essential for its acclaimed products. It stands as a vital hub for no fewer than 14 such denominations, including the characterful Alpi Retiche IGT wines, the esteemed Valtellina Casera DOP cheese, and the globally recognised Bresaola della Valtellina IGP. The very terrain and traditions that once defined its role as a passage now define its excellence.
