Terroir
Natural factors
- The production zone lies within the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain group, with varied geology encompassing mountain reliefs of differing origin.
- The climate is transitional between semi-continental and alpine, with cold winters and warm summers in July and August, and average annual rainfall of 1,000 mm concentrated in spring and autumn.
- Soils consist predominantly of calcareous detritus with high stoniness, good drainage and aeration, situated on the middle to upper sections of alluvial fans.
- On the lower portions of the slopes, soils have lower stoniness, while in some flat areas these are interspersed with colluvial accumulation soils and soils overlying moraine deposits or fluvial gravels.
- Soils derived from geological matrices other than limestone also occur, including the porphyritic soils of the Valle di Cembra, the metamorphic-crystalline soils of the Val d'Isarco, and the basaltic soils of the central Vallagarina.
Human factors
- In 1874 the Istituto Agrario di San Michele all'Adige was established, a crucible of viticultural knowledge and culture that, alongside the school of Conegliano, disseminated new viticultural and winemaking techniques.
- The entire territory formed part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for several centuries, and to this day retains marked administrative and cultural characteristics rooted in that history.
Product characteristics
- White wines range from straw yellow to golden yellow, sometimes with greenish or coppery highlights as in the case of Pinot grigio, with a flavour profile ranging from dry to sweet, harmonious and savoury.
- Red wines display a ruby red colour of varying intensity, sometimes with orange highlights when aged, and on the nose are vinous or ethereal with fruit notes characteristic of the individual variety.
Terroir / wine link
- The marked diurnal temperature range that defines the territory leads to a considerable accumulation of aromatic precursors in white grape varieties, to which the distinctive organoleptic character of the wines is owed.
