The characteristics of the terroir The vineyards of the Tenuta Regisole rise at about 130 meters above the sea level in an optimal position as they enjoy the gentle winds of the Oltrepò Pavese and a southern exposure. The vineyards of the company are composed partly of historic plants of around 40 years old and partly of new plants. The soil tends to be clay-rich, compact and rich in potassium; these characteristics allow to obtain structured, smooth, colorful wines with complex olfactory sensations.
