It is a small Italian “gem”, but it is also the largest terraced area in Italy. Its ecosystem is rich in biodiversity, from apple orchards to forests, and its unique characteristic is the 850 hectares of heroic viticulture vineyards.

The terraces are a strategic design (acknowledged as an Historic Rural Landscape and its dry stone walls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site), in the dialogue between the mountain climate and well known temperature variations of the Alps, and breezy and sunny Lake Como, forming a highly suitable wine terroir. Most of all, it is an example of a territory where “beauty is a creation of agriculture” and where man works together with nature.
