In the Lombardy region of Italy, you’ll find the province of Lecco, known for its stunning and rich history. While Lecco has a smaller area and population compared to other provinces, it’s a place of great beauty and cultural significance.
Lecco’s land has traditionally been used for silk production and industry, leaving little space for winemaking. However, in recent years, there’s been a renewed interest in growing grapes and making wine.
Terre Lariane IGT
The main wine designation in Lecco is called Terre Lariane IGT, established in 2008. This includes vineyards in Montevecchia, known for their steep slopes and sunny weather, perfect for growing high-quality grapes. In these vineyards, you’ll find a variety of grape types, like Verdese, Chardonnay, Riesling Italico, Sauvignon, and others.
Though Lecco’s winemaking history is relatively young, the wines produced here are full of character, reflecting the unique soil and climate of the region. From fresh and crisp whites to rich and flavorful reds, there’s something for every wine lover to enjoy.
As winemakers in Lecco continue to experiment and improve their craft, the province is becoming known for its exceptional wines.
