Characteristic of the hills of the Belìce Valley, the white earth is of medium compactness and has a very high component of limestone and chalk, which originates the numerous chalk-sulphur formations present in the area.
The dry microclimate with good water retention enhances in this area the typical minerality of the soil, making it ideal soil for the cultivation of native white varieties such as Grillo, Zibibbo, Inzolia, Catarratto and Grecanico.
