Vineyard and terroir
The grapes are grown in Tuscany on quartz-rich sandy soils.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented on the skins in stainless-steel tanks at 25 °C, followed by two weeks of maceration.
Ageing
The wine matures for 18 months in oak barriques and tonneaux, followed by 12 months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.
Tasting profile
The wine has a rich profile.
Label / history
The 2013 vintage was limited to 11,000 bottles. Cecchi remains family-owned and was founded in Tuscany in 1893 by wine broker Luigi Cecchi. It is now led by brothers Cesare and Andrea Cecchi. The family regards itself as traditional and says it does not make Super Tuscan wines; Andrea Cecchi favours elegance and a long finish over wines weighed down by alcohol.
