Salice Salentino: deep soil, clay loam texture. The soil in Salice Salentino provides an ideal environment for varieties such as Negroamaro, Aglianico and Cabernet Sauvignon thanks to its clay loam texture. This type of soil is deep and rich in organic substance, providing a natural supply of nutrients for the vines. The clayey component helps retain moisture in the soil, ensuring adequate water supply during drought periods. This is particularly advantageous for vine cultivation because the roots can have continuous access to water and essential nutrients for growth. Clay also contributes to the soil composition, giving stability to the vines and facilitating a slow and uniform ripening of the grapes.
