The Cecione Valley rises in the heart of the Chianti lands, land of great wines and land of reds all produced respecting the typicality and craftsmanship, this is where the IGT Black Malvasia
IGT Black Malvasia
Il Vallone di Cecione is a small reality located near Panzano in Chianti in the heart of the Chianti Classico Black Rooster. The estate is developed on approximately 8 hectares of which 4 are vineyards and 700 olive trees. Always focused on quality since 2010 the production is organic. The management has always been in the hands of the Anichini family, today it is Francesco who carries it forward with the help of his parents. The name derives from the area, Cecione, where the farm is located while Vallone comes from a plot of land that slopes down from the house to the valley, an area particularly suited for theexcellent wine.
In the “Allegra” vineyard, in the lowest area of the estate, grows the Black Malvasia vinified by us in purity with a short refinement in terracotta amphoraeThe wine thus produced has unique characteristics, aromatic and velvety, with an intense flavour, very pleasant and easy to pair.
Production is mainly concentrated in 5 labels: the Chianti Classico, a Pure Canaiolo, one Black Malvasia in purity, a Pure Sangiovese (“Barley Field”) and a Sangiovese rosé dedicated to Francesco's daughter (Allegra). On the label of each wine there are images referring to people from the Anichini family or to very particular moments that mark historical passages or family memories that are indissoluble over time.
My family has been producing wine for over a hundred years in full respect of the most ancient Chianti tradition, cultivating the small fields around the old house located in the splendid valley of Cecione and in the Conca d'Oro of Panzano.
A history tuscany, a family story.
