"Unleashing the potential of Veneto's finest grapes
Valpolicella base wine, produced in the Veneto region of Italy, is known for its high-quality and distinctive flavors. The “Strada dei Monti” of Verona is an area characterized by soils with particular pedogenetic characteristics that significantly influence the quality of the grapes and wines produced. Here are some of the main characteristics of the soils in this area:
Limestone-Tuffaceous Composition: The soil is mainly composed of limestone and tuff rocks, which give the soil a good draining capacity. This is essential to avoid waterlogging that could damage the roots of the vines.
Low in Organic Matter: The soils of the Strada dei Monti are generally poor in organic matter. This causes the vines to develop deeper roots in search of nutrients, improving their resistance and fruit quality.
Rich in Skeleton: The presence of a high content of skeleton (i.e. gravel and stones) improves soil drainage and facilitates root penetration. This type of soil is ideal for growing vines, as it reduces the risk of moisture-related diseases.
Lean and Difficult to Work Soil: The lean and stony nature of the soil makes tillage difficult, but it is precisely this characteristic that forces the plants to put more effort into growth, resulting in more concentrated and higher quality grapes.
Microclimate and Altitude: The hilly position helps to create an ideal microclimate for viticulture. The temperature variations between day and night favor the slow and complete ripening of the grapes, preserving aromas and acidity.
The pedogenetic characteristics, with their calcareous and tuffaceous soil, poor in organic matter and rich in skeleton, are decisive for the production of high quality grapes, which give life to our rich and complex wines.
