I would add to ale_gianne's review that this is no trivial climb as far as Tirli; on at least three occasions you can see on the cyclocomputer, in the "slope" window, the number 13 and often 12 or 11.
Note the presence of cork and chestnut trees along the entire route

Aggiungo alla recensione di ale_gianne che non si tratta, fino a Tirli, di una salita banale; almeno in 3 occasioni si vede sul ciclocomputer, nella finestra "pendenza", il numero 13 e spesso 12 o 11.
Da notare la presenza di sugheri e castagni per tutto il percorso

The road from Pian d'Alma is a falsopiano with a few short climbs and relative descents, the real climb begins as soon as the road bends to the right. I recommend, especially to the less trained, that you do not start off with too much impetus, as the first section is one of the steepest, and you risk ruining the rest of the climb. As a climb, it is not particularly scenic but it is not bad, and it has the advantage of being one of the few real climbs in the area. Just before arriving at the knoll, there is a drinking fountain on the right. I also recommend the descent towards Castiglione della Pescaia.

La strada da Pian d'Alma è un falsopiano con qualche breve strappo e relativa discesa, la salita vera e propria inizia appena la strada curva a destra. Consiglio soprattutto ai meno allenati di non iniziare con troppo impeto, visto che il primo tratto è uno di quelli con la pendenza maggiore, e si rischia di rovinare il resto dell'ascesa. Come salita non è particolarmente scenica ma non è male, e ha il vantaggio di essere una delle poche vere salite in zona. Poco prima dell'arrivo al poggio c'è una fontanella sulla destra. Consiglio anche la discesa verso Castiglione della Pescaia.
