What grows here
Costa di Mezzate
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated in the Bergamo hinterland of Lombardy, this settlement of 3,446 inhabitants nurtures 16 protected denominations within its agricultural borders. The municipality’s sundrenched slopes provide the ideal terroir for the local Terre del Colleoni DOC, a wine designation spanning a zone of 71 municipalities. Alongside these vineyards, the humid plains and nearby Alpine foothills shape the character of regional cheeses like Salva Cremasco DOP. Here, the transition from low hills to Lombard plains defines a unique microclimate where winegrowers and cheesemakers preserve distinct northern Italian flavors.
