Terroir
Natural factors
- Soils of Miocene origin: lacustrine/fluvio-lacustrine pumiceous tufi and organogenic or arenaceous calcare, occasionally marnosi.
- Vineyards on calcareous hills between sea level and 300 m, well-exposed to sunlight, sometimes flat or gently sloping.
- Hot, arid climate with mild winters; July and August regularly exceed 30 °C; light summer rainfall and significant diurnal temperature variation in late summer.
- Microclimate influenced by sea breezes and prevailing winds: maestrale, levante, and, less frequently, tramontana.
- The calcareous hills reflect solar radiation, promoting even grape ripening and the enhancement of aromatic expression.
Human factors
- Traditional viticultural and winemaking practices for the Bianco, Rosso, and Rosato types; Malvasia is the emblematic grape variety of the hills around Modolo, Tresnuraghes, and Magomadas. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
Product characteristics
- Aromatic ripeness is favored by sea breezes, light-reflecting calcareous hills, and light summer rainfall across vineyards situated between 0 and 300 m.
- Prevailing winds identified: maestrale, levante, and, less frequently, tramontana; they modulate qualitative characteristics according to aspect and slope orientation.
Terroir / wine link
- Miocene calcareous soils, with pumiceous tufi and organogenic or arenaceous calcare that are occasionally marnosi, promote even ripening and the enhancement of aromatic expression.
