• Calcareous-dolomitic basement often exceeding 6,000 m in depth, formed during the Jurassic and Cretaceous on the sea floor.
• Sandy-clay loam texture, fine sub-angular structure, abundant fine pores; low fertility due to deficiency in macronutrients.
• Mediterranean climate with annual rainfall of 400–1,200 mm, approximately 65% concentrated in autumn and winter; hot summers and mild winters.

• Human settlements documented from the Palaeolithic; Greek and Lombard rule is thought to have catalysed local agricultural and viticultural activity. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The administrative framework of the territory was established by the «Liber Augustalis» of 1231 (Frederick II) and remained unchanged until the Unification of Italy in 1860. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
