Villa Rosa
The Cecchi family acquired Villa Rosa in 2015 from the Lucherini Bandini Family who had owned the property for nearly 70 years. The Castellina-rooted vineyards are celebrated for producing exceptional Sangiovese, including from the renowned wine taster Giulio Gambelli who declared, “A Villa Rosa il Sangiovese ci nasce bene!” (At Villa Rosa, the Sangiovese grows well!). 30 hectares are managed with scientific precision to cultivate the highest-quality Sangiovese grapes. From this meticulous approach, the Cecchi family produces their Gran Selezione wine, embodying the purest expression of Castellina’s terroir and the family’s commitment to preserving the legacy and tradition of the estate.
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.
