The soil
The soil on which the plots are located is medium to strongly eroded reddish-brown loam. The soil texture is characterized by the existence of a clay content between 19 - 25%, having a good capacity to retain water and aerate the root mass. There are also traces of calcium carbonate, the content in active limestone being approximately 2.4% at the depth of 0-60 cm. This creates optimal conditions for obtaining high quality wines.
