Terroir

• Four distinct categories of pedogenetic substrates: marine rocks (Macigno, silty marls, argillaceous schists), Pliocene sands, lacustrine sediments, and Holocene alluvial deposits.
• The sandstone hills of Tuoro, Passignano, Panicale, Paciano, and Piegaro feature slopes of 30–60% and a rougher morphology than 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 schists characterise the hills surrounding the lake.
