What grows here
Monticello Brianza
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Monticello Brianza’s undulating topography in the Meratese district, where the historic hamlet of Torrevilla once belonged to the aristocratic Sirtori family, provides the breezy microclimate essential for artisanal curing. This distinct pocket of Lecco province anchors 16 protected denominations. Chief among these local specialties is the spiced Salame Brianza DOP, which cures in these low hills, alongside the wines of Terre Lariane IGT. The local dairy culture is further represented by the production of the historic, square-shaped Quartirolo Lombardo DOP, cementing the town's role in Lombardy's food landscape.
