Terroir
Natural factors
- The proximity to the sea protects the vegetative cycle from excessive minimum temperatures in winter and from excessive maximum temperatures in summer, while keeping the environment well-ventilated.
- The Rimini coastline extends for 15 km along the Upper Adriatic shore. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
Product characteristics
- The wines, particularly the reds, display a high dry extract and alcohol content, with good colour intensity and a high level of polyphenols.
- The wines show a good aptitude for ageing and a well-balanced ripening that allows a good expression of the varietal characteristics of the grape varieties.
Terroir / wine link
- The calcareous-clay soils with medium-low fertility, the scarce summer rainfall, and the high heat summation lead to contained yields and correct ripening, positively influencing the chemical, physical, and organoleptic characteristics of the wines.
