Azienda Agricola Biologica Valle Delle Lepri Di Cecchini Sil

About Winery and Wines

In the late '50s Battista Cecchini moved from Montescudo, his birth village, to Coriano in an 8 hectares overgrown farm with 200 olive trees. He molded his idea with tenacity and effort, turning that wild land into vineyards, choosing the most appropriate vine varieties for that specific area. In the '80s the management is transferred to his son Silvano (current owner), who in a few years turned the production from cask wine in fine wines in the bottle. In the last few years Luca, Silvano's son and young winemaker, has brought in our wines some openness and innovation, blending tradition and technical skills. The name Valle delle Lepri, in English Hares' Valley, comes out from a project by Silvano, to preserve and protect the hares in this area. More than 6 hectares of the vineyard are fenced and used for the adaptation and repopulation of this animal. This selfless love for nature led Silvano into a more precise viticulture, turning his farm in 1992 in an organic winery. Since then we defend our plants from diseases only through sulfur and copper, absolutely with no pesticides or synthetic products, grassing the entire rows and doing the pruning and harvesting just by hand. These specific cares keep luxuriant the flora and fauna in the valley and help us to give you genuine wines with strong personality. In wine cellar Luca Cecchini (winemaker-oenologist) is oriented (oenologist) to a biodynamic concept, using a few concentrations of sulfites and yeast from our own vineyards, which blended with very low physical interventions make you to taste our country and our passion for vineyards, and let us to respect the vintages' diversity.
