The area radiates a distinguished wealth. Every year it attracts a large number of visitors of both wine and culture lovers. The soil consists of galestro (a stony slate soil with marl), pebbles and slate.

The winter is temperate , the summer warm and spring and autumn rainy. The beautiful landscape with rows of cypresses has many el idyllic villages perched on rolling hills. Romantic fishing villages colour the coast. In spring, bright red poppies bloom. During the summer, the vast fields are filled with sunflowers. Autumn colours everything warmly with red-brown and ochre tones. Around this time, the grapes are ripe and ready to be harvested. Tuscany has been deeply influenced by viticulture.
