Sorisole

Rising into the Alpine foothills of Lombardy’s Bergamo province, the municipality of Sorisole—home to over 8,700 residents—leverages its steep, sun-drenched slopes for viticulture. This specific terrain shapes the character of 17 protected denominations, prioritizing local specialties like Valcalepio DOC and Terre del Colleoni DOC. The unique microclimate here fosters wines of intense aromatic complexity and structure, distinct from those of the flatter plains. Today, 2 verified producers within Sorisole’s borders continue these traditional methods, with 1 winery offering cellar tours and tastings to introduce visitors to the authentic flavors of this hillside enclave.
