Situated in the eastern-central Pavese plain of Lombardy, Cura Carpignano's geographic coordinates, notably south-east of the Olona river, define its unique agricultural character. This specific environment makes it a vital point for Italy's protected food and wine, being home to no less than 14 distinct denominations. Foremost among these is the acclaimed Coppa di Parma IGP, a cured pork delicacy rooted in a zone spanning 439 municipalities, which finds ideal maturing conditions here.
