The terrain is mountainous, with the Dolomites and Rhaetian Alps enveloping the area, so viticulture is simply not possible on much of the land. However it is practiced on many steep slopes under difficult conditions.

The leaves are dark green and pentagonal. The grapes are amber-yellow and hang in pyramidal bunches. The vines are often grown on slopes facing the sea where they can benefit from the additional reflected light. The Vitis International Variety Catalogue now gives Italy as its origin.
