Territory

Italy’s wealth lies in its diversity and we have the task of protecting it.

Thanks to an extremely diversified territorial morphology conformation, thanks to the Mediterranean climate that offers the best growing conditions for the vine, Italy offers an enviable range of wine varieties. More than 2000 indigenous varieties represent the strength and enological wealth of our beautiful country.

Piemonte

Azienda Agricola Camparo

Calcareous clay soils characterized by gray fossil marls of Sant’Agata characterized by alkaline pH; ideal for the production of great red wines, important and long-lived.

Veneto

Prosecco Ardenghi

The vineyards, located in Refrontolo, at 270 meters above sea level, penetrate their roots in a well-structured, clayey soil, set in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG area: an area strictly regulated by specific regulations to guarantee a product of the highest quality for those admirers ready to spread them the excellent reputation.

From these lush slopes Prosecco releases all its energy and transport for a vibrant, vibrant taste, capable of interpreting a terroir that has always been dedicated to the care of the vine in respect of a tradition consolidated over time.

Campania

Fattoria Pagano

The composition of the soil is mainly volcanic, evidenced by the presence of elements such as pozzolana, small volcanic lapilli and stones that are collected and accumulated on the edges of cultivable glades. From the mixed volcanic, tuffaceous and calcareous soil it achieves a good aging potential and a great minerality that distinguish the wine produced limiting the need for chloride bisulphites. The clay has the property of retaining water and giving it slowly to the roots, which is why there is no irrigation system in our vineyards.

Puglia

Podere 29

The company has an incredible geo-diversity within its 22 hectares of land and different types of soils:

Rock / limestone suitable for whites
Clay: More suitable for the cultivation of red berried grapes.
Clay / sand: Very balanced wines in alcoholic and phenolic components. Fine perfumes.
Sand near the sea, where the Susumaniello Cultivar was planted in 2017

Lazio

Cantina Gaffino

The Gaffino Winery, located between the Albano Volcano and the Tyrrhenian Sea, has a Mediterranean climate, which makes winters mild and summers cool thanks to the winds coming from the coast that allow the grapes to ripen perfectly in the vineyards.
Characteristics of volcanic soils with sandstone, clayey and marly sediments, allows the production of wines of excellent quality, endowed with intensity, freshness and a good structure.

Toscana

Tenuta Casteani

The soil texture varies from clay based to sand based, generally referred to as structured and complex lands, capable of producing wine with a high typicality and personality. Overall, they are considered to be medium-textured soils, with a high aggregation
percentage, highly permeable because of the river stones and pebbles deep underneath it, and therefore with good drainage qualities. The main characteristic is the highly interesting and unique mineral composition, with an important presence of calcium and limestone which is able to add finesse and elegance to the vines.
The “Terroir”of this areais characterised by a dry microclimate, thanks to the constantly blowing sea breeze from the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea and the high amount of sunny days in the Maremma. These are the perfect conditions to preserve the health of the grapes and to avoid the danger of mould and diseases.
