The impact of the Lessini mountain range to the north and Lake Garda contributes to the region's mild climate. Additionally, rainfall often occurs in the winter and is not overly abundant. The yearly precipitation ranges from 850 to 1000 mm.
The calcareous-dolomitic rocks, basalts, moraines, and river deposits make up the soils. The latter is of volcanic origin and provides the vines with a greater water supply, both during the development stage and during the ripening of the grapes.
