Due to its geographic location on the right side of the South Tyrolean Lowlands [Südtiroler Unterland; Bassa Atesina], this region experiences a later sunrise, but benefits from intense afternoon sun that lasts until the evening hours. As a result, the midday temperatures are moderate, providing ideal and preferred conditions for the Pinot Noir grape variety. The nights are cool, and the vineyards are ventilated by the Ora wind from Lake Garda.
