Terroir

• Oligocene–Miocene substrates of arenaria, marne, and calcarenites, alongside Quaternary alluvial deposits, dominate virtually the entire territory.
• In the eastern portion, Paleozoic metamorphic and granitic rocks outcrop, bearing thin, stony entisols and inceptisols.
• Pedological toposequence on the Miocene slopes: thin entisols at the summit, more developed inceptisols on the flanks, and deep argille-rich soils at the base.
• Mediterranean climate of the Basso Campidano: mild winters (average minima 12°C), summers reaching up to 40°C, and mean rainfall of 500 mm over 55 rain days.
• The territory is shaped into elongated ridges and gently undulating plateaus formed by Quaternary erosion on the tectonic graben of the Campidano.

• The Benedictine monks of the abbey of San Vittore di Marsiglia (late 11th–early 12th century) developed viticulture in the village of Sibiola.
• The name Parteolla derives from the Latin 'Parte Olla' (Curatoria di Dolia), with roots said to trace back to the legendary Iolaus, leader of the Greek Thespians.

• The Miocene marne and arenaria soils give rise to diversified pedological toposequences: thin entisols on the ridgelines and deeper, calcareous inceptisols on the slopes.
