What grows here
Borgo di Terzo
17 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Along the right bank of the Cherio river, where the Cavallina valley opens up east of Bergamo, Borgo di Terzo’s sun-drenched hillsides create an optimal microclimate for vine cultivation. This compact territory contributes to 17 protected denominations, with local winemaking taking center stage. Here, the clay-limestone soils nurture the grapes for Valcalepio DOC, a historic local blend, and the single-varietal expressions of Terre del Colleoni DOC, which spans a zone of 71 municipalities. These hillside currents also help age regional cheeses like Taleggio DOP, turning this river-carved corridor into a micro-hub of Lombard gastronomy.
