• The production zone lies in the province of Ancona, in hilly communes situated on average no more than 25 km from the Adriatic, in a temperate climatic zone with warm summers. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• Annual rainfall in the production zone ranges between 700 and 800 mm. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The soils are found at elevations between 150 and 250 metres, are particularly deep, and are notably rich in fine clays and limestone. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• Production takes place exclusively in certain hilly communes in the province of Ancona, including Morro d'Alba, Monte San Vito, San Marcello, Belvedere Ostrense, Ostra, and Senigallia, with the exclusion of valley floors and the seaward-facing slopes in the latter commune.

• Vine cultivation in the zone has a history spanning millennia, attested by ancient writings and archaeological finds, and the Lacrima variety is described ampelographically in texts dating back to the eighteenth century.

• The distinctive and unique organoleptic characteristics of the wines derive from the interaction between human factors — such as the choice of grape variety and the evolution of agronomic and oenological techniques — and the natural factors of the territory.
