Cecchi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2009
Winemaker Notes
The wine's "Nobile" appellation may well come from its "noble" grape components. Some historians, however, hypothesize that the name comes from the 17th century poet Francesco Redi, who described Vino Nobile di Montepulciano as "the king of all wines."
Cecchi Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is particularly noteworthy for its robustness. e wine's prestige is building in world markets and demonstrating just how brilliant Tuscan reds can be. Traditional fermentation of select grapes is followed by at least 2 years of aging before release.
Perfect with hearty stews, roasts and casseroles.

In the 1970s, Cecchi moved to the borough of Castellina in Chianti, an area which has traditionally produced Chianti Classico. In its cellar, equipped with the latest technology, the final part of the production cycle is carried out. The fermentation operations are carried out at the four commercial vineyards distributed in famous DOC zones in Tuscany and Umbria: Villa Cerna in the Chianti Classico region, Castello di Montauto at San Gimignano, Val delle Rose near Grosseto, and Tenuta Alzatura at Montefalco, in Umbria. Since 2004, following the death of Luigi, his sons Cesare and Andrea, along with their mother Anita, have run the company with enthusiasm and passion.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character.
