Casatenovo

Casatenovo, home to over thirteen thousand residents in the hilly southern terrain of Lecco, is a focal point for Lombardy’s gastronomic heritage. This territory boasts 16 protected denominations, driven by its unique positioning between pre-Alpine lakes and fertile lowlands. Local identity is anchored by Terre Lariane IGT wine, cultivated within a highly restricted zone of 180 municipalities, and the savory Salame Brianza DOP, which thrives in a microclimate shared with 286 municipalities. These cool, humid currents also support the curing of traditional cheeses like Quartirolo Lombardo DOP, defining Casatenovo's distinct culinary footprint.
