What grows here
Lorenzago di Cadore
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on an alpine plateau 883 meters above sea level on the left bank of the Piave, Lorenzago di Cadore guards the historic mountain crossing through the Mauria Pass into Carnia. This high-altitude borderland, defined by dramatic temperature swings and pristine mountain pastures, directly shapes the complex profiles of the 15 protected denominations overlapping here. Bees foraging across these steep slopes yield the highly prized Miele delle Dolomiti Bellunesi DOP, while the mountain grasses feed the dairy cows behind the sharp, crystalline flavors of Piave DOP cheese, both deeply tied to this dolomitic terrain.
