Terroir

• Volcanic origin: the soils derive from the Vulcano Laziale, active from ~600,000 years ago until the Upper Paleolithic (29,000–25,000 years ago).
• Recent alluvial deposits in the flatland zones produce deep soils, tending toward argille and often retaining moisture.
• Climate with mean annual rainfall of 822–1,110 mm, mean temperature of 13.7–15.2°C, and moderate summer aridity (84–127 mm in the summer months).

• Lithoid tufo requires deep subsoil tillage to allow adequate root development of the vine, a distinctive viticultural practice of the area.

• Vinous, delicate, and pleasant nose, with no further aromatic descriptors specified in the disciplinare. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
