Description
"Ceccante" is the name of a hero of the Tuscan tradition handed down by storytellers. The story tells that he, fleeing from fools after having performed a heroic act on behalf of the weakest, decided to hide among the rows of grapes, which in that period offered their most mature fruits. Precisely their sweetness, convinced Ceccante to settle in those lands and to continue to accomplish their deeds in the Maremma. The Ceccante is the highest expression of our terroir and the clones have been selected in collaboration with the Institut d'oenologie de Bordeaux. Production is limited to the best vintages.
