Az. Agr. Vallone di Cecione
Az. Agr. Vallone di Cecione is a small estate located near Panzano in Chianti, in the heart of the Chianti Classico gallo nero. The farm covers about 8 hectares, of which 4 are vineyards situated at an altitude of 460 metres above sea level, along with 700 olive trees. Production has been organic since 2010, and all the wines and the olive oil produced fully respect typicity and craftsmanship. The land lies in the splendid "conca d'oro di Panzano," a valley well known for its excellent sun exposure and the composition of its soils. The family's bond with the land dates back to the late 19th century. In 1961, Giuliano Anichini, on the advice of a friend, purchased the farm in Panzano that would become Vallone di Cecione. The Anichini family has run the estate as owners since 1985, although their history there goes back much further, as sharecroppers since 1961. We produce essentially five wines. In addition to the Chianti Classico, we make a pure Canaiolo, a pure Malvasia Nera, a pure Sangiovese ("Campo dell'Orzo") and a Sangiovese rosé dedicated to Francesco's daughter (Allegra). The labels of each wine feature images referring to members of the Anichini family, or to very special moments marking historic milestones or family memories that endure through time. The estate combines modern agricultural techniques with winemaking tradition, giving life to Chianti Classico Vallone di Cecione, a wine that can boast genuine typicity and excellent quality.
