Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Substrate predominantly consisting of regosols on arenaria, argille, and calcareniti, with calcium carbonate normally present.
• Varicoloured argille layers (brick red, green, grey) on hillside slopes, primary contributors to pedogenesis alongside Quaternary clastic and pyroclastic sediments.
• Hilly morphology ranging from 200 to 650 m a.s.l., with flat-bottomed karst depressions and incisions formed by Quaternary erosion.
• Slow drainage in the underlying horizon, the principal land-use limitation, which can be overcome through mechanisation and appropriate agronomic practices. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• Regosols on arenaria, argille, and calcareniti: high cation-exchange capacity promotes the availability of nutrients for the vine.
