Caiarossa is surrounded by stunning nature, a value in  its own right.

Approaching the estate from Livorno, one enters the Val di Cecina, a picturesque region of 900 km2, named after the river which runs through it; the Cecina.

The river and the close proximity to the sea give the area a very special microclimate.
The wind blows from the west,  particularly in the afternoon and the temperature drops dramatically during the night. The climate is typically Mediterranean, with more rainfall during winter and spring. The summer and early autumn are generally hot and dry. The average  annual temperature is 15OC, with January as the coldest and August as the hottest month. Mean average temperatures range between 7 and 24OC. Average yearly rainfall in the region is around 800 mm.
