The soils of Valdobbiadene are deep and varied, made up of rocky and sandy conglomerates enriched by clay, minerals and iron.

In the area of Conegliano, in the easternmost part of the denomination, there are gentler and more winding hills: silty-loamy soils, which yield more structured wines, prevail.

The mandate of Valdobbiadene, on the other hand, is a steep and difficult land, with soils that could be fine-textured at times, or rich in fossils in others, even gravelly in some places.

These are poor soils that urge the roots of Glera to sink deep underground, yielding Prosecco wines with complex aromas, gentle acidity and a savoury note, which has made them famous in the world as drinkable and deliciously elegant wines.
