• Holocene sandy alluvial deposits along the Tevere and Chiascio rivers: fertile soils formed by fluvial flooding.

• Torgiano soils derived from Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine deposits: sands, clays, and conglomerates of the Lago Tiberino basin.
• Presence of vulcaniti (tufi and tufiti), travertines, and marly-arenaceous deposits, alongside sandy alluvium from the Tevere and Chiascio rivers.

• Torgiano soils: Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine sands, clays, and conglomerates, with vulcaniti (tufi) and travertines, within the Lago Tiberino basin.
