What grows here

Borgo Lares

20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Borgo Lares, a quiet alpine enclave of just 734 residents in the province of Trento, leverages its high-altitude pastures and clean mountain air to shape distinct flavors. This pocket-sized territory boasts 20 protected denominations, anchored by the highly localized Spressa delle Giudicarie DOP, a lean cheese crafted in a restricted zone of only 27 municipalities. The alpine climate also nurtures the crisp Mele del Trentino IGP, which thrives on the sun-drenched valley slopes. Here, drastic day-night temperature swings and steep terrain yield dairy and fruit of remarkable structural integrity and concentrated aroma.
