# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 425/2013 of 7 May 2013 approving a minor amendment to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Pesca di Leonforte (PGI)], Division 5.1: Specificity of the geographical area

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The area in which the peaches are grown is situated in the 'heart' of Sicily. The soil is alluvial and of a medium consistency, with high levels of clay and organic substances. There is a Mediterranean climate characterised by long, hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Rainfall is concentrated in the period from October to March. In addition, it is in the area delineated above that growers invented and developed the practice of putting the fruit in small bags while it is still on the branch, which protects it from pests and enables it to ripen smoothly before picking.
