“Among these hills, even the silence is green”
The particularity of this territory is its ground, predominantly sandy, that witness the presence of the sea in the past. Maritime origin is also evidenced by the presence of numerous shells and fossils, and by the stratification of the soil, well visible in some areas.
In this type of soil the vines have found the ideal conditions for their development and for their excellent organoleptic characteristics.
The vast production of fruits and vegetables also benefits from this soil feature, that allows to produce every year high quality products with less use of pesticides.
