Cecchi

It was Cecchi who started a journey that led to what now can be defined as a perfect blend between innovation and tradition.
It is in the ability to predict the future that one of the secrets of Cecchi Family success lays; a sort of gift handed down from father to son.
Every step forward taken by the winery throughout its history has been preceded by careful and thorough experimentation, and it is the respect for tradition that has always led the family in making its daily decisions.

Respecting the ecosystem has gone hand in hand with the winery's growth: a minimal environmental impact is a prerogative the family chose to pursue, in order to safeguard the ecological future of the surrounding habitat.

The production and management centre of Castellina has benefited from continuous conservative investments, which have enabled the winery to operate whilst respecting the people, the landscape and the territory.

Toscana

The name of Tuscany is synonymous with its most famous, and probably Italy’s most famous, red wine. Chianti is produced in high volumes and exported worldwide, with a distinctive personality that is difficult to define but that has somehow impressed consumers all over the world. The Sangiovese grape is the key to the region’s success, as the backbone of DOCG wines in Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Carmignano. Yet the region’s prestige is today further enhanced by the evolution of the “Super Tuscan”, wines that now rank among some of Italy’s most refined. Failing to slot into any existing DOC or DOCG category, they are now largely classed as Toscana IGT in order to avoid the humble Vino da Tavola category.
