What grows here
Ello
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Ello clings to the verdant western slopes of Mount Regina, just southeast of Lake Annone, where the alpine air of the Prealps meets the hills of Brianza. This high-altitude topography shapes the local microclimate, nurturing the terraced vineyards that yield Terre Lariane IGT, a wine denomination encompassing 180 municipalities. These same temperate breezes aid the curing of Salame Brianza DOP. In total, this small gateway to Lecco hosts 16 protected denominations, showing how Ello’s specific geographic ledge translates into highly specialized agricultural craft.
