Terroir

• Temperate subcontinental climate with a mean annual temperature between 10 and 14.5 °C and one to three summer months exceeding 20 °C.
• Diversified microclimatesover short distances, shaped by parallel valley formations, slope exposures, and sheltered orographic depressions.
• Active ventilation from breezes limits humidity and frost; the more exposed hillside spurs are particularly windy.
• Considerable slopes promote soil drainage and desiccation during ripening, concentrating sugars and quality compounds in the berries.
• Sub-Apennine coastal-influenced rainfall regime: a primary autumn maximum, a summer minimum, and a secondary spring maximum.

• Fossil vines and grape seeds discovered in 1862 at Alseno date viticulture in the Piacenza area to between the 20th and the 7th century B.C. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
