Dear friend,<\/p>\n

\u201cTerre Calcaree\u201d and \u201cTerre Argillose\u201d, two wines that you may have learned to know over the years. A distinction that is not accidental: since I arrived at the company I have always been fascinated by the typical soils of our district. Soils that differ greatly in terms of color and composition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Soils that give rise to a spectacular heterogeneity and that must be worked in very different ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • On calcareous soils – light in color, almost white, loose and with a very fine texture – the work is reduced, the consistency acts as a plug and keeps the roots cool thanks also to a high water retention.<\/li>\n
  • On clayey soils – which take on a yellow color – the soil is very compact in the more humid periods and then opens up quickly during the hot season, and here the soil must be worked more often to avoid cracking phenomena that would expose the roots to the summer heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Vines with clay soils generally ripen earlier than those with limestone soils (we often harvested in October, a harvest period that is almost unthinkable for our hot and arid climate). We have been practicing biodynamic agriculture for more than fifteen years, and I have noticed that over time the vines behave differently than at the beginning, ripening the grapes more slowly, without excessive accumulation of sugars but with high acidity even during later harvests.<\/p>\n\t
