They slope down from the eastern side of the Apennines toward the Adriatic sea. These hills are particularly well-suited to the cultivation of vines because they are sheltered from the winds off the Adriatic Sea and have a warm, sunny exposure. These conditions and the varietals cultivated here have assured the reputation of the region’s wines since ancient times. The wines get their famous minerality from the white calcareous clay soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarofoli’s estate vineyards cover a total area of about 128 acres.
