28
Valle de Limari soils
Red clay topsoil + **limestone** (terra rossa); calcareous soils are unique in Chile. Soils shift to more alluvial/volcanic towards the Andes. [Limari has the highest concentration of limestone of any Chilean region. Other coastal regions have similar maritme climates; but the limestone soils here are the differentiator - the wines retain high acidity while fully ripe, no green flavors to be found]
29
