Description
The Seggio is the largest watercourse in the town of Castagneto Carducci. It springs from the metalliferous hills of Sassetta, an area already known in Etruscan times and rich in iron ore deposits underground. It flows through the entire Bolgheri terroir. The alluvial detritus enriches the characteristic clay soil with precious pebbles, thus guaranteeing excellent soil drainage.
