Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• The vineyards are planted mainly on calcareous hills, at elevations ranging from sea level to 300 metres above sea level.
• The soils date back to the Miocene and consist partly of lacustrine and fluvio-lacustrine pumice tuffs, and partly of organogenic or arenaceous limestones, sometimes marly.
• The soils are well-exposed to sunlight and are mainly hilly, sometimes flat or gently sloping.
• The climate of the area is hot and arid, with mild winters and summer temperatures that exceed 30°C in July and August.
• In winter, cool temperatures prevail along with considerable humidity owing to exposure to the libeccio winds, which characterise the microclimate of the zone. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• The recognition of the Indicazione Geografica Tipica for the wines of Planargia and the approval of the corresponding production specification date back to the Ministerial Decree of 12 October 1995.
• The training systems, vine spacing, and pruning methods used, including in new plantings, are those traditional to the production zone.
