Terroir
Natural factors
- Dominant soils: calcareous detritus with high stoniness on alluvial fans, with good drainage and aeration.
- Diversified soils in the lower zones: colluvial, morenic, and on fluvial gravels in the flat and valley-floor areas.
- Exceptional geological substrates: porfido in Valle di Cembra; a basaltic belt at Isera, Mori, and Brentonico in central Vallagarina.
Human factors
- Viticulture documented from the Bronze Age to the present day, intertwined with local human history.
- Some vineyards, small in size, are workable only by hand out of devotion and tradition.
