I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it has steep sides and is' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'in tuscany only' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'CANYON' is hidden within 'tuscany only'.

'found' acts as a link.
