The granitic soils of the region give a distinctive minerality to the wines, semi-sparkling wines and sparkling wines produced here.
The mountainous landscape of the region calls for the practice of mountain winegrowing, with vines planted at considerable altitudes. This slows the ripening process, which is important for the development of the phenolic compounds and aromatic precursors found in the grapes. As a result, the wines, the semi-sparkling wines and the sparkling wines are more aromatic.
In turn, the wide variation in daily temperatures in summer, with hot, dry days and cool nights, influences the slow and smooth ripening of the grapes. This results in a lower natural sugar content and ensures a good level of acidity, giving a characteristic freshness to the regions wines, semi-sparkling wines and sparkling wines.
The human factor, which preserves traditions going back thousands of years and is reflected in the choice of varieties that have adapted best to the conditions in the geographical area, is of decisive importance in producing grapes that give the regions wines, semi-sparkling wines and sparkling wines their salient characteristics.
