Cellatica

Styles

Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Calcareous-clay soils on rocky hills west of Brescia, partially overlapping with Franciacorta.
• Soils derived from four named geological formations: medolo, silicifero, maiolica, and creta.
• In the creta di Cellatica zone, low-calcareous marly clays mixed with scaglia rossa maintain a consistently significant limestone content.
• Viticulture on sometimes steep gradients in the communes of Cellatica, Collebeato, Gussago, and Rodengo Saiano.
• The microclimate ensures sufficient heat accumulation for thorough grape ripening during the vegetative period from April through September.

• Calcareous-clay soils from local geological formations (medolo, silicifero, maiolica, creta), with marly clays and scaglia rossa guaranteeing a considerable limestone content that forms the foundation of the wine's profile.
