Label / history
The family-owned Cecchi company was founded in Tuscany in 1893 by wine broker Luigi Cecchi. It is now led by brothers Cesare and Andrea Cecchi. The family’s approach remains traditional, with an emphasis on elegance and a long finish rather than high alcohol, and it does not produce Super Tuscan wines.
