Buca di Ronzano

In the more gentle areas of the blind valley there are several houses surrounded by large evergreen formations, vineyards, fruit tree rows, and meadows. On the chalky ridges closing the valley a thin undergrowth develops, interrupted in some stretches by the outcrops: here Downy Oaks, Manna Ashes, and Wild Pear often acquire a shrubby and twisted formation; the sunny exposure of this slope enriches the vegetation with several Mediterranean species (Sageleaf Rockrose, Phillyrea, ilex tree).
