What grows here
Olginate
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Bounded by the protected forests of the Adda Nord Park, Olginate once stood as the historical hub ruling over neighboring Garlate and Valgreghentino. Today, this alpine-influenced riverfront terrain shapes its local specialties. The steep, sun-exposed slopes nourish vines for Terre Lariane IGT wines, a denomination spanning a zone of 180 municipalities. This damp river breeze also favors the curing of Salame Brianza DOP, produced in a selected zone of 286 municipalities. Olginate’s unique position between alpine foothills and the Adda River nurtures these distinct flavors, anchoring the culinary identity of Lecco.
