Climate & Landscape
Schematic block diagram, not to scale: the top shows the relief and the front face a cross-section, coloured by soil and rock type.
- Valpolicella covers a band of foothills in the province of Verona, from Lake Garda almost to the border with the province of Vicenza, with the Lessini Mountains to the north; its soils derive from calcareous-dolomitic formations, basalts, and moraine and river deposits.
- The Adige plain has deep alluvial soils with a coarse texture and abundant stones; the hills have soils formed from white and pinkish marly limestones, the Biancone and Scaglia Rossa, with basalt outcrops formed after submarine eruptions.
- Lake Garda tempers both winter minimum and summer maximum temperatures; further from the lake, the cold winds from the Lessini Mountains act more strongly. The valleys open like a fan from the Verona area towards the north.
Between Lake Garda and the Lessini Mountains, the Valpolicella valleys enjoy a mild, ventilated climate that also serves the drying of grapes.
Lake Garda to the west
The lake moderates temperatures and lends the western valleys a milder, almost Mediterranean character.
Lessini Mountains to the north
The mountains shield the valleys from cold northern winds.
Hillside terraces and airflow
Vineyards on hillsides and dry-stone terraces (marogne) are well drained and ventilated; the same dry, moving air supports the appassimento drying of grapes.
