CECCHI
The Cecchi family has accompanied through the succession of generations, the historical path of Italian wine, passed in less than a century from peasant food to national brand of excellence, known and appreciated throughout the world. In 2018 the company celebrates the 125 th anniversary of an activity started in 1893 thanks to Luigi Cecchi. Today it is Andrea and Cesare Cecchi, the fourth generation company, who lead the company with the same qualities of enthusiasm and entrepreneurial ability that characterized their predecessors. Keeping the precious experience they inherited, the two brothers focused on productive sustainability and the ability of wines made to express the territory of origin, ensuring stimulating prospects and always new markets. The headquarters in Castellina in Chianti and the vineyards located in the main areas of Tuscany favor the production of the wines symbol of the region such as Chianti Classico DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Morellino di Scansano DOCG. Cecchi is also present in Umbria with the production of the sumptuous Sagrantino di Montefalco DOCG. The aim is to interpret the various territories through the adoption of production styles, farming systems and mass selections that skip the peculiarities of each denomination. Sangiovese is certainly the most important grape variety within the 370 hectares of vineyards, in which international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are also valued. The company also produces a red Toscana IGT, the "Coevo", which can be counted among the great Supertuscan wines. The name Cecchi is now more than ever synonymous with great Tuscan reds, a company where experience and passion for the territory are expressed through a perfect combination of innovation and tradition.
