Produced by Cecchi, a historic Tuscan wine family based in Castellina in Chianti, this DOCG bottling represents the heart of the region’s winemaking tradition. The wine is crafted predominantly from Sangiovese grapes grown in the rolling hills of central Tuscany, delivering the bright fruit and lively structure that defines the appellation.

Nose: Inviting aromas of bright red cherry and strawberry mingle with subtle notes of dried herbs and a whisper of fennel, offering classic Chianti character with fresh, approachable fruit.

Palate: The palate shows red berry fruit alongside hints of orange peel and earthy undertones, supported by silky tannins and lively acidity that provide balance and structure without heaviness.

Finish: Soft and balanced with good length, the finish carries fruity flavours and a touch of savoury complexity that lingers pleasantly.

This wine pairs beautifully with pasta dishes featuring tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, Florentine steak, aged cheddar, and anything finished with barbecue sauce.

Serve between 15–18°C in a medium-sized wine glass to allow the aromas to express fully.

A versatile choice for midweek dinners, casual gatherings with friends, or as a thoughtful gift for anyone exploring Italian wine regions beyond the basics.
