Terroir
The HILL Pinot Grigio vineyards stretch out across a 50-metre-tall hill to the south of Magrè. The terrain is a stratification of grey clay sand with a high clay content
Climate
The Mediterranean climate is characterised by hot summers and mild winters, as well as the Ora, a warm afternoon wind that comes from Lake Garda to the south.
