What grows here
San Colombano al Lambro
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising as a distinct hill above the flat Lombard plains, this Milanese metropolitan enclave enjoys a microclimate that nurtures outstanding viticulture. Here, 7 verified producers, with 3 open for visits, craft the prestigious San Colombano al Lambro DOC and the vibrant Collina del Milanese IGT wines. This clay-heavy island of vines also shares in the heritage of larger regional specialties like Taleggio DOP cheese. The local terroir infuses these wines with a mineral complexity that defines this singular agricultural pocket, proving that exceptional wine flourishes right on the edge of the Milan metropolis.
