Terroir
Natural factors
- Mid-hillside territory at the foot of Monte Subasio, with vineyards ranging from 180 to 750 m above sea level. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Dominant substrates: continental clastic deposits (lacustrine sands, scree and colluvial debris), with outcrops of travertine and marly-arenaceous lithotypes.
- Deep, moderately developed soils with a B-horizon of alteration; abundant skeletal material in the less steeply sloping terrain.
Human factors
- Substrates comprising lacustrine sands, scree and colluvial debris, travertine, and marly-arenaceous lithotypes at the foot of Monte Subasio.
- Vineyards between 180 and 750 m above sea level; steeper, heavily gravelly soils reduce yields but enhance the expressive potential of the vine.
Terroir / wine link
- On the steeper, gravelly slopes below 750 m above sea level, the vine reaches its highest expressive potential, albeit with markedly reduced yields.
