Terroir

• Territory divided between morainic plateaus and hillside slopes, on the eastern side of the Sesia valley.
• Clayey and deep soils in the flat areas, more gravelly and loose on the west-facing slopes.
• The morainic hill develops along a north–south axis, divided into two parallel hill ridges.

• The wine is cited by Pliny the Elder in the 1st century AD; a Roman sarcophagus of the 2nd century AD at Fara Novarese attests to a local wine merchant. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• Fluvio-glacial morainic hill: heterogeneous alluvial layers on the plain, gravelly and loose soils on the west-facing slopes.
