Nestled in the heart of Perledo, Crott del Meo is an authentic example of a "crotto," a natural formation carved into the rock, typical of the Lombard mountains and Lake Como. For centuries, "crotti" have been places of gathering and conviviality, used to preserve local products and celebrate special moments.
Today, at Crott del Meo, we breathe new life into this tradition, offering an exclusive space for private events, tastings, and aperitifs in a unique atmosphere.
"Crotti," also known as "crott" in the Lombard language, are natural cavities typical of the mountainous regions of the Alps. The rocky conformation of a "crotto" allows a constant temperature air current (around 8 °C) to seep through the fissures between the boulders. This peculiarity makes it a natural refrigerator, ideal for the maturation and preservation of wine and other typical gastronomic products. These places, symbols of tradition and authenticity, have always been synonymous with conviviality and genuine flavors.
Crott del Meo is historically one of the meeting points for the locals. The new opening to the public resumes this custom to promote and celebrate local traditions.
