Terroir

• Soils are predominantly Regosols developed on a substrate of sandstone, clay, and calcarenite, with calcium carbonate normally present.
• Mixed lithology: limestones, dolomites, sandstones, fissile varicoloured clays, together with Quaternary clastic and pyroclastic sediments.
• Rolling hill morphology with ridges interspersed by flat-bottomed karst depressions, at elevations ranging from 200 to 650 m above sea level.
• The clay deposits (brick-red, green, and grey) are the key materials for pedogenesis, in association with Quaternary sediments.
• The production zone covers the entire province of Benevento and is articulated into four sub-zones: Solopaca, Guardia Sanframondi, Taburno, and Sant'Agata dei Goti. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
