What grows here
Annone di Brianza
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Resting along the shores of its namesake prealpine lake, where the rising Alta Brianza hills meet the rugged gateway to Lake Como's Lecco branch, Annone di Brianza channels a distinct lakeside microclimate. This humid, breezy environment shapes the curing of Salame Brianza DOP, a sweet, delicately spiced pork sausage crafted within a designated zone of 286 municipalities. On the surrounding slopes, alpine winds aerate the terraced vineyards that yield the fresh, mineral-driven wines of the Terre Lariane IGT. These specialized conditions sustain 16 protected denominations, linking lake-effect geography directly to northern Lombardy’s gastronomy.
