The soil is moraine due to the deglaciation of prehistoric Alpine glaciers, pebbly and very loose, with the presence of clay, ideal for the cultivation of vines, with a very low yield per hectare, but of great quality. The fabulous climate of Lake Garda, acting as a thermal flywheel, creates a microclimate that is of great importance for the maturation of the grapes. All the red grapes are grown in a basin 180 m above sea level, the white grapes on a soft hill with exposure at noon, 250 m. above sea level.
