The average rainfall level is around 700 mm per year .

Types of soils

The appellation area offers a large variety of soils , therefore providing  great originality to the wines there . However we can divide the area into 3 main types of soils : schists , limetone and silts  with important volcanic formations that are the undeniable and unique links between the villages. They shape a part of the landcsape with remains of vulcanoes, basalt flows , consolidated ashes and screes ( black gravels) that mingle with soils of other origins .
