Province of Lecco

Bounded by alpine peaks, the Lombard province centered on the bustling capital city of Lecco boasts a dramatic topography where mountain pastures collide with lakeside terraces. This unique vertical landscape allows 50 verified producers to cultivate contrasting culinary treasures, bridging high-altitude aging vaults with lakeside vineyards. In lakeside Abbadia Lariana and the rolling hills of Annone di Brianza, the local terroir nurtures everything from the sharp, alpine Bitto DOP to the sun-kissed vines of Terre Lariane IGT. It is this steep, water-hewn transition from alpine peaks to Mediterranean-like lakeside microclimates that defines Lecco's singular gastronomic soul.
