Higher altitude can mean slower cherry maturation, denser beans, and deeper flavour development—but only if the land allows it. Not every high peak is suitable. Wind exposure, soil quality, biodiversity, access, and labour costs all matter. Many mountain tops are simply barren and impractical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eLa Pergamino is different.
