This is such a beautiful climb, upto the quintessential Tuscan hill town of Cortona on beautiful switchbacks through olive groves, then a short tough section around the walls of the town and then a lovely easy ride to the top with a gentle gradient stunning views. A bar up at the top for coffee with a view! Highly recommended.
