I have already told you about terroir and subareas in Gambellara, today I’ll introduce you a new one: the subarea Pianura (countryside), one of the six crus inside Gambellara DOC area.
It’s in the southern part of the DOC area, in between 3 and 50 m.a.s.l.,the soils are mainly clayish an loamy, not chalky, with a good drainage. During summer the daily temperature here is quite high, while it decreases during the night: the difference between day and night temperature can be of 14° C in September. Here, among the others, is located my Merlot vineyard for the production of my new wine.
