What grows here
Lirio
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Lirio’s viticultural identity is sculpted by the steep hillsides rising above the Scuropasso torrent, a distinct valley terroir that shapes Lombardy’s premier sparkling wines. Within this unique microclimate, local growers cultivate grapes for the prestigious Oltrepò Pavese metodo classico DOCG, alongside other agricultural specialties, totaling 20 protected denominations within the municipal boundaries. The native slopes funnel cool nocturnal breezes down the valley, preserving the high acidity and delicate aromas of the grapes, explaining why this precise geographic pocket is celebrated for classic method sparkling wines.
