Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Four distinct categories of pedogenetic substrates: marine rocks (Macigno, silty marls, argillaceous scisti), Pliocene sands, lacustrine sediments, and Holocene alluvial deposits.
• The arenaceous hills of Tuoro, Passignano, Panicale, Paciano, and Piegaro, with slopes of 30–60%, display a more rugged morphology compared to the rest of the territory.
• Sands with argillaceous and conglomeratic lenses of deltaic, coastal, and brackish origin (Pliocene), confined to the western extremity: Rengone, Porto, Laviano, and Città della Pieve.

• Marine sedimentary substrates comprising Macigno (Miocene–Paleocene), silty marls, calcarenites, and argillaceous scisti characterize the hills surrounding the lake.
