VILLA CERNA

As so often when it comes to Italy, a profound sense of history seeps out of the wooden barrels and into your glass, with Villa Cerna first appearing on parchment on the 4th of February, 1001. The winery resides 250m above sea level, where the terroir has lovingly nurtured the Sangiovese vines for centuries.

In the early 1960s, Luigi Cecchi purchased Villa Cerna, restoring the villa and constructing a winery and cellar at the base of the hill to house Cecchi’s HQ. The vineyards around the tree-studded rise that Villa Cerna sits upon are the oldest to be found in all the Cecchi properties.
