What grows here
Albese con Cassano
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In the Como province, where a compact community of about 4,270 inhabitants resides under the Prealps, Albese con Cassano nurtures 15 protected denominations. The local climate, influenced by the nearby pre-Alpine lakes, shapes the terraced vineyards of Terre Lariane IGT, a wine denomination spanning 180 municipalities. This microclimate also fosters the curing of Salame Brianza DOP, a delicate cured meat native to a restricted zone of 286 towns. From these humid, hillside breezes, the area also produces soft cheeses like Taleggio DOP, turning this small territory into a concentrated micro-hub of Lombard gastronomy.
