The vineyards are planted on two major types of soil:
- gravelly terraces, which offer light and fruity wines called "Easter wines" or "spring wines", and
- argilo-calcareous & argilo-siliceous hillsides, which produce wines suitable for ageing, sometimes for long periods.
Depending on their terroir of origin, some wines can be enjoyed extremely young or, must be left to age many years before all their flavours are revealed
