Terroir
Natural factors
- Predominantly morainic soils of allochthonous origin: good drainage and good water retention capacity, resulting from glaciations of the Secondary and Tertiary periods.
- Outside the morainic ridge, alluvial gravelly deposits occur in flat, low-lying zones.
- Complex morphology: morainic amphitheatre shaped by the movements of the glacier descending from Valcamonica during the Secondary and Tertiary eras.
- Insubric mesoclimate: Lago d'Iseo moderates temperatures, reduces frost risk, and intensifies precipitation.
- Winkler Index ranging from 1,800 to 2,300 degree-days, varying according to altitude, aspect, and lake effect.
