Terroir
Natural factors
- Calcareous-dolomitic geological basement often exceeding 6,000 m in thickness, deposited during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
- Typical «terre rosse» soils (Alfisols), ranging from shallow with lithic contact within 50 cm (Lithic Rhodoxeralfs) to very deep (Typic Rhodoxeralfs).
Human factors
- DOC established in 1997; viticulture in the area has very ancient origins, with human traces dating back to the Palaeolithic and Greek and Longobard influences. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Minimum vine density of 3,500 vines/ha; supplemental irrigation permitted for a maximum of 2 applications per year prior to véraison; all forcing practices are prohibited. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
Terroir / wine link
- «Terre rosse» soils (Alfisols) over a Jurassic-Cretaceous calcareous-dolomitic basement, with low fertility that directs the vine toward reduced yields and higher quality.
