I lead a consortium of wineries of Piemonte where the differences of the geology come out very clear even if we have to consider the different vinificatio process (although quite similar) from winery to winery In case you respond plese do it via mail Thanks Erminio Very interesting, I want to set up a small meeting in Italy next year to discuss about this.

Well done, Max. My own theory is that the soils and the geology make a difference to the way the vine grows - you can see this with your own eyes when vines cross a soil or geological boundary. Not only vines but other plants too. In the Old World the winegrowers would have stopped planting vines in the soils where the vines struggle to their detriment - or become too vigorous. A geological boundary could denote a vineyard boundary too. At last, a sensible article on this subject. Well done, Max.
