The territory of Tollo features broad hills sloping down toward the Adriatic Sea, with the proximity of the Maiella massif characterizing the landscape.
The vineyards benefit from good exposure and ventilation, as well as the absence of waterlogging — conditions that characterize the production zone.
The viticultural areas are situated on hillsides, with slopes of around 5–10%, at elevations between 80 and 228 metres above sea level in the commune of Tollo. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
