Crete Senesi
Crete Senesi - Distance: we are here!
The Crete Senesi (Siennese Clay Hills) refers to an area of the Italian region of Tuscany to the south of Siena.
It consists of a range of hills and woods among villages.
Crete senesi are Siennese clay and the distinctive grey colouration of the soil gives the landscape an appearance often described as lunar.
This characteristic clay, known as mattaione, represents the
sediments of the Pliocene sea which covered the area
between 2.5 and 4.5 million years ago.
