Calco

Calco, a Lombardy enclave of roughly 5,500 residents in the southern hills of the Lecco province, thrives at the intersection of alpine breezes and fertile plains. This unique transition zone shapes the character of its products, stewarded today by 3 verified local producers. Here, the terraced slopes yield the mineral-forward Terre Lariane IGT wines, while the damp, cool microclimate of the surrounding hills provides the ideal conditions for curing Salame Brianza DOP. In total, 16 protected denominations overlap in this micro-region, making this small commune a concentrated pocket of northern Italian gastronomic heritage.
