What grows here
Varzi
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Varzi, a medieval stone-walled borough in the Pavia province, owes its gastronomic fame to the unique microclimate of the Staffora Valley, where sea breezes cross the Apennines to dry curing meats. This specific environment shapes the prestigious Salame di Varzi DOP, a delicacy restricted to just 14 municipalities. The territory also nurtures the Provincia di Pavia IGT wines, contributing to a total of 16 overlapping protected designations. Today, 2 verified producers carry on these artisanal methods within the municipal boundaries, including 1 open for visits, allowing travelers to experience these historic flavors directly at their origin.
