CECCHI unveils two new releases from Tuscan Maremma: “CAPRIFOGLIO” and “CALIPTE”

Cecchi showcases the winegrowing potential of the Maremma through an internationally styled Viognier and a Sangiovese rosé with a fine Tuscan identity.

Castellina in Chianti, April 16 2025 – Cecchi (link) continues its commitment to shining a spotlight on the Maremma, the area along Tuscany’s southern coast, with the launch of two new labels: Viognier “Caprifoglio” 2024 and Rosato “Calipte” 2024, made from Sangiovese grapes.  Two stylistic interpretations that, through a dialogue between native and international varieties, highlight the unique soil and climate conditions of this territory and its increasingly recognized winemaking potential, both in Italy and abroad.

Tenuta Monteti – “We don’t like the excess of roundness”

I sometimes find myself struggling with the ripeness and the lack of acidity in some of the wines of the Tuscan coast. Although technically well made, their warmth, elevated alcohol content, low acidity, and use of ‚international‘ grapes such as Bordeaux blends can sometimes make them seem interchangeable. Additionally, global warming hasn’t been favorable for these wines. Usually, I am more drawn towards wines that show a sense of place, a vision and have a soul and freshness. Tenuta Monteti (Link) is a great example of a winery that embodies all these virtues, while avoiding stepping into the trap of being over-complicated or too intellectual.

Principe Corsini: Neues aus dem Traditionsweingut mit Geschichte und Geschmack!

Principe Corsini, so heisst eine der schönsten Villen im Anbaugebiet des Chianti Classico. Prinicipe Corsini, das bereits 1427 gegründet wurde, gehört heute noch der gleichen, aristokratischen Familie, den Corsinis. Sie besitzt eigentlich zwei Weingüter: die Fattoria Le Cortini (Link) in San Casciano Val di Pesa und die Tenuta Marsiliani (Link) im Maremma-Gebiet. Heute leitet Duccio Cortini beide. Ihm ist es auch zu verdanken, dass sich die Qualität der Erzeugnisse seit einigen Jahren stets und massgebend verbessert.
