For several years have developed and tested specific methods for soil sampling and interpretation of the results regarding the assessment of soil heterogeneity in the vineyard terroir. The heterogeneity of the soil in terms of the indicators characterizing the harmful acidity in the soil must be taken into account not only in the area horizontally, but also in the vertical direction - i.e. the change in the depth of the soil profile. The role of acid-alkaline balance due to the structure of soil acidity is a complex soil component of the terroir. In terms of its relative influence, it is comparable to the importance of the chemical composition of the soil as it determines the dynamics of its components in the soil-plant system.
