What grows here
Cernusco Lombardone
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Meratese hills of Lecco province, Cernusco Lombardone hosts 16 protected food and wine denominations. The municipality's geography shapes the crisp, terraced-grown Terre Lariane IGT wines, which are restricted to a zone of 180 northern municipalities. This viticulture directly interfaces with the production of Salame Brianza DOP, a cured specialty aged across 286 municipalities. The intersection of alpine air currents and local clay soils provides the exact microclimate needed for both grape-ripening and salumi-curing, making this specific spot in the Meratese basin a key reference point for Lombardy's finest flavors.
