- The region benefits from a unique combination of limestone-rich soils and a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The elevation of the vineyards, often situated between 300 and 450 meters above sea level, provides cooler temperatures that help maintain acidity and balance in the wines.
