“A unique environment, where the Cecchi family works while fully respecting the natural cycles of the seasons. Respecting the ecosystem has gone hand in hand with the winery's growth: a minmal environmental impact is a prerogative the family chose to pursue, in order to safeguard the ecological future of the surrounding habitat. The production and management centre of Castellina has benefited from continuous conservative investments, which have enabled the winery to operate whilst respecting the people, the lanscape and the territory.”
