Description
Production area
The vines are grown on hilly and also terraced land at approximately 150 metres above sea level. The soil is limeclay, moderately alkaline and at times calcareous, and lies on marl that dates back to the Eocene era, meaning that stony soil containing fossils may be expected or even abundant. The soil is of average permeability and has a shallow capacity for holding water.
