The formation that characterizes the local area is the so-called SANT’AGATA FOSSIL MARL (TOV), formed in the open sea. Bluish-grey in colour, it is generally sandy with some conglomerate admixture. The area’s unusual name seems due to the fact that before the advent of phylloxera the vineyard was planted to muscat, or even to nebbiolo grafted onto muscat vines. The fruit is known for its excellent sugar/acid balance even in dry years.
