Italy for my garden but it just? looks like sand to me! What are its benefits/ characteristics?
 
Tufo, is Italian for "the Greek grape grown in tufo (a type of soil)."
The soil type is calcareous and clay. It's a chalky clay, a type of clay that is rough but breaks up quite easily. Full of calcium, this soil adds a nice minerality to wine.
