Castello di Brianza

In the Lecco province, the decentralized hamlets of Castello di Brianza climb the pre-Alpine hillsides, where unique temperature fluctuations between the mountains and the plains shape agricultural life. This scattered municipality nurtures 16 protected denominations that define its gastronomic identity. Foremost is the local Terre Lariane IGT, which captures the alpine freshness in its terraced wines. Additionally, the region’s specialized curing climate underpins the production of Salame Brianza DOP, a prized cured meat crafted across a zone of 286 municipalities, which draws its complex, sweet aroma directly from the breezes circulating through these Lombard hills.
