The wine business La Giuva is situated atop the hills to the north of Verona, just a few miles from the Lessinia Park. The area falls within the Valpolicella designation of origin zone at an altitude of around 400 metres above sea level, where the hills hosted old vines in a context of biodiversity that can be seen in the combination of vines, olive trees, fruit trees, meadows and woodlands.
Here too, in fact, just like in most of the subalpine reliefs, both towards the summits and on the slopes of the hills, the territory is characterised by calcareous soils like white lime and red flake. The lime is very important because its calcium is very healthy for vines and regulates the biochemical processes: indeed, it is a key component in forming the fixed acidity of the wines, giving them great structure and minerality.
