What grows here
Villongo
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the hilly transition zone of Bergamo, rising to an altitude of 220 meters, the municipality of Villongo is split between the historic quarters of San Filastro and Sant'Alessandro. Here, the unique topography fosters 16 protected denominations. Chief among these are the local wine designations, including the Terre del Colleoni DOC, which is shared across a restricted zone of 71 municipalities, and the regional Bergamasca IGT. The sun-drenched slopes surrounding these twin hamlets provide the microclimate needed for these vibrant wines, while the broader plains support dairy treasures like Taleggio DOP.
