Terroir:

The terroir of Cantina Albea is defined by the unique conditions of the Valle d'Itria plateau: Soil: Predominantly calcareous and clayey, rich in iron minerals that give the earth its iconic deep-red color (Terra Rossa). This provides excellent drainage and imparts a distinct minerality to the wines. Climate: Characterized by significant diurnal temperature swings. Hot, sunny days followed by cool nights allow grapes to ripen slowly, preserving acidity and enhancing aromatic complexity. Altitude: Situated at approximately 400 meters above sea level, the elevation provides constant ventilation, reducing humidity and ensuring the health of indigenous vines like Verdeca and Nero di Troia. Influence: The proximity to both the Adriatic and Ionian seas brings salty Mediterranean breezes, adding a subtle sapidity to the finish of their labels.
