Label / history
The family-owned Cecchi company was founded in Tuscany in 1893 by wine broker Luigi Cecchi and has been involved in Tuscan winemaking for more than a century. It is now led by brothers Cesare and Andrea Cecchi. The family has remained committed to traditional wines and does not produce Super Tuscan wines.
