What grows here
Costa Volpino
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising sharply from the shores of Lake Iseo at 185 meters to the peak of Monte Alto at 1,723 meters, Costa Volpino’s extreme topography creates a distinctive microclimate for agriculture. This vertical landscape hosts 15 protected denominations, spearheaded by Bergamasca IGT, a wine expressing the steep hillside vineyards shared by only 86 municipalities. The elevation shift also influences local dairy production, facilitating the curing of cheeses like Salva Cremasco DOP, a specialty produced within a restricted zone of 838 municipalities, alongside the creamy Taleggio DOP.
