Terroir
Natural factors
- Bipartite territory: Holocene alluvial plain (Apennine sediments) and hilly relief up to 450 m above sea level.
- Plain soils of alluvial origin with high carbonate fractions; hillside soils derived from pelitic rocks, calcareous, with fine texture.
- Subcontinental climate with sublittoral rainfall regime: precipitation ranging from 650 mm on the lower plain to 850 mm in the hills.
- Average heat summation of 2,032 degree-days (Winkler Index), with minima rarely falling below 1,700 degree-days in the hillside zones.
- Pleistocene transitional plain-to-hill zone with deep, decarbonated soils of fine texture and localized gravel outcrops.
Product characteristics
- Lambrusco: fruity and floral aromas, bubbles providing gustative balance, red or rosé, best enjoyed young. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
