Terroir
Exposed to the east/south-east, these vines can be found in Nalles, between 330 and 400 metres above sea level. The ground is a 150-metre deep alluvial fan, carved out by the Sirmian and Nalles stream, consisting of 80% limestone gravel and 20% porphyry rubble.
Climate
From continental to sub-Mediterranean, the climate is characterised by warm days and cool nights.
