Cecchi

Heritage:

The Cecchi family story begins in 1893 with Luigi Cecchi, whose vision laid the foundation for a multigenerational journey rooted in Tuscany. Passed from father to son, the estate steadily grew in both scale and reputation, evolving from a regional négociant into one of Italy’s most respected family-owned producers. In the late 20th century, the family expanded beyond Chianti Classico, acquiring key estates in Maremma, Montefalco and Montalcino—most notably Val delle Rose and Tenuta Alzatura—broadening their expression of central Italy’s terroirs. Today, Cecchi encompasses five estates—Villa Cerna and Villa Rosa in Chianti Classico, Val delle Rose in Maremma, Aminta in Montalcino, and Tenuta Alzatura in Montefalco—each combining heritage, innovation and a longstanding commitment to quality that has earned consistent international acclaim. 

Philosophy:

Respect for the vineyard and its territorial expression lies at the heart of Cecchi’s philosophy. From vine to cellar, every step is guided by careful, sustainable practices that preserve the identity of each site. Certified ISO, Equalitas and with some sites now also Certified Organic, the family is committed to protecting biodiversity, reducing chemical inputs and responsibly managing natural resources. This meticulous approach, combined with rigorous quality standards, results in a signature house style defined by clarity, balance and freshness—wines that highlight varietal character with precision, while remaining true to Italy’s rich winemaking heritage.

People:

Famiglia Cecchi remains firmly in family hands, led today by fourth-generation brothers Andrea and Cesare Cecchi, with Andrea serving as President and CEO and overseeing production and winemaking.  Working alongside them is a skilled technical team, including long-time group oenologist Miria Bracali and estate winemakers such as Andrea Fiorello at Val delle Rose, who help translate each site’s character into wine.  Together, the family and their wider team combine deep local knowledge with a forward-looking approach, ensuring continuity of style while embracing innovation. This close collaboration across vineyards and cellars underpins a consistent house signature—wines that balance clarity, regional character and modern precision, while remaining rooted in Cecchi’s long-standing tradition

Beyond the Vine:

Famiglia Cecchi maintains a strong presence at major national and international trade fairs, reinforcing its market positioning. If you happen to be in the locality, Val delle Rose stands out as a vibrant destination, offering tastings and immersive vineyard experiences, including picnics, aperitifs under the wisteria, and a lively calendar of summer events.
