What grows here

Asso

15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.

Positioned in the Vallassina valley, exactly halfway between the two southern branches of Lake Como, the ancient village of Asso hosts 15 protected denominations. This historic mountain hub channels alpine winds that moderate the local microclimate, aiding both viticulture and curing. Chief among its certified treasures is the Terre Lariane IGT wine, representing a production zone of 180 municipalities. Additionally, the prized Salame Brianza DOP flourishes here under strict regional curing standards. The interplay between lake moisture and dry mountain air shapes these distinctive flavors, tying them directly to Asso's geographical coordinates.
