Good wine and Maremma, perfect duo

Based on the studies done, the western vineyard of Tenuta la Badiola, with the Vermentino and the Viogner, has been the place of production for grapes for white wines. In fact, this piece of land was once crossed by the Acquagiusta spring, and presents a soil poor in main elements, while in contrast rich with bones and mineral substances. Visibly distinguishable by the light color of the soil, the latter causes absorbence of heat, moderating it and creating the conditions for the vegetative activity. In the lighter soils a higher residual humidity (owing to the dispersion of heat) together with a slightly shorter vegetative phase favor the growth period of the grape bunch with increased enrichment of white wines.
As far as the eastern vineyard goes, again based on experimentation, the planted grapevines are those (Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante, Merlot e Syrah) for the production of red and rosé wines. Here the different analyses have in fact encountered a notable presence of nutritional elements in a darker soil, capable of absorbing more warmth. As such the radical activity of the plant is notably influenced, prolonging the vegetative activity and with it generating a positive delay in the maturation with the right accumulation of the components that favor the production of a good red wine.
