Terroir
Natural factors
- Vineyard soils predominantly argillaceous or loam-clay-silt in texture, with good calcare content and sub-alkaline pH reaction.
- Marked bioclimatic gradient (Winkler index): approximately 2,000–2,200 degree-days in the coastal belt, 1,800–2,000 degree-days in the plain, down to 1,600 degree-days in the hills.
- The valleys of the Senio, Lamone, and Marzeno rivers descend perpendicularly from the Apennines, linking the hill zone to the plain.
Human factors
- Strabo (1st century BC) records viticulture in the marshy areas: cultivation is documented in the Ravenna district since antiquity.
Terroir / wine link
- High coastal water deficit (April–October) as a quality indicator for grape ripening.
