Schematic block diagram, not to scale: the top shows the relief and the front face a cross-section, coloured by soil and rock type.

  • The zone is one of broad, sunny hills, with the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Gran Sasso and Maiella massifs to the north-west and south-west.
  • The nearness of the massifs contributes to a marked difference between day and night temperatures, and the hills are well ventilated.
  • The soils have a sandy-clay structure and are usually loose; their depth varies with slope and exposure, and their capacity to hold water is medium to low.
