Villa Cerna
Villa Cerna, proudly positioned on the first hill of Chianti Classico when entering from Siena to Castellina, has been owned and nurtured by the Cecchi family since 1962. From this defining location, the estate produces its signature Chianti Classico Riserva and “Primocolle” Chianti Classico, crafted from a deep understanding of local clones, microclimates, and their soils rich in clay, limestone, sand, and calcareous marine fossils. Villa Cerna's deep commitment to hospitality offers a genuine, memorable Chianti Classico experience with their exquisite Foresteria restaurant and sweeping vineyard views.
Our Relationship
Anyone who wouldn’t want to work with the Cecchi family would have to be nuts, and when I was contacted by the family about representing their wines in the US I was excited to say the least. Andrea and his family have over 125 years of winemaking history in the Chianti Classico region and their family name is amongst the most recognizable in Italian wine.
Volio has the opportunity to build the estates for the family. These are the gems of their vineyard holdings and really represent the future of the Cecchi name.
