An Entity of Type: Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Geographically the wine region is located in the south of Switzerland, and includes the canton Ticino and the neighbouring district of Moesa (Misox and Calanca valleys) in the canton of the Grisons, both areas being Italian-speaking. The terroir varies from acid soil in the northern part to limestone in the southern part.
