Climate

The coastline, hills and mountains of the Marche Region present a noteworthy range of different situations. The climate in our production area, Morro D’Alba in the Province of Ancona, is
classified as ‘humid subtropical’, with noteworthy shifts in temperature in the course of a given
day and from season to season. Summers are hot, but normally cooled to a certain extent by
sea breezes that tend to balance the temperature, while winters are rather cold. Precipitation,
as a rule, is not abundant, though the rain that does fall is distributed fairly evenly throughout
the year. There is significant storm activity in the summer months, while incursions of arctic
air from the rest of the continent can bring frost and snow, at times for short periods along
the coast as well.

MEDIUM TEXTURE

TYPE AND EXPOSURE OF SOIL

The exposure is oriented to the SOUTH/SOUTHWEST, making for the accumulation of
abundant luminous energy that favours photosynthesis.
Temperature, lighting and exposure are elements that play key roles, influencing to a
great extent the final product of a vineyard. With its rich stock of organic matter, the soil
is well suited to growing grape vines, providing excellent drainage, along with a structure
whose depth favours the downward growth of the roots, plus excellent water retention, a
very important quality in Mediterranean climates characterised by scarce rain in the summer
months.
