What grows here
Casanova Lonati
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Casanova Lonati sits on the low Oltrepò plains, just south of where the Scuropasso torrent flows into the Po River. This specific hydrological setting shapes the microclimate for the 15 protected denominations overlapping its small territory. Most notably, the vineyards here feed the local Provincia di Pavia IGT, a wine designation restricted to a zone of 55 municipalities. The humid riverside air also aids the curing of Coppa di Parma IGP. These geographical conditions allow this tiny Lombard community to punch far above its weight in Italy's gastronomic registry.
