The soils in the Ravenna area commonly present a good limestone consistency and are often clayey or clayey-silty, even though there are particular areas with a great amount of sand. Consequently, the wines are characterized by a good structure and inspiring aromas. The oldest traditional local vines are genetically inclined towards well-balanced acidic contents, which are partly mitigated by the abundance of potassium in the soils as well as by recent cultivation techniques (early topping and defoliation). For these reasons, many wines are characterized by a clear freshness.
