Terroir
Natural factors
- Predominantly flat territory at ~50 m above sea level, with limestone and trachyte cliffs to the west and small hilly relief to the east.
- Vineyard soils with neutral to sub-alkaline reaction, rich in skeletal material, with high cation exchange capacity and limited organic matter.
Human factors
- The prevailing Maestrale wind characterizes the microclimate of the zone, promoting the vegetative and productive development of the vine.
