What grows here
Mandello del Lario
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rising from the eastern shore of Lake Como's Lecco branch, Mandello del Lario's steep lakeside slopes shape a distinct microclimate. This terrain fosters the terraced vineyards behind Terre Lariane IGT, a wine denomination spanning a zone of 180 municipalities. Here, alpine breezes also help age the regional Salame Brianza DOP, one of 16 protected denominations overlapping this territory. Taste this heritage directly at the town's single verified producer, which is open for visits, connecting the glass in your hand with the dramatic waterfront landscapes where its ingredients are grown.
