This vernaccia di san Gimignano DOC comes grapes selected in a special vineyard of the Cusona estate San Biagio, whose position and soli characteristics account for excellent quality. Grapes are picked at the peak of ripeness. Vinification takes place after what is known as "criomacerazione", a process under which the destemmed grapes and their juice are left together at low temperature for 15 to 20 hours in a way that allows extraction of aromas from the skins. Then the grapes are' softly crushed and the must is left to ferment in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at. This process brings out the typical flavors of Vernaccia while giving the wine intense fruity aromas and firmer structore. Before being sold the wine is seasoned in bottles for about three months.

Vin Santo is produced in limited quantities according to a very old traditional method. After careful selection of the malvasia, trebbiano and san colombano grapes, they are left to wither on rush matting until the following Junuary. The grapes are then pressed and the must is stored in small kegs where it is left to age for at least five years. The wine is usually drawn from the kegs during Easter and this is probably the origin of its name (12 x 75 cl)

The meeting between the world of wine and the Cecchi family dates back to 1893. It was Luigi Cecchi, skills as a wine taster, who established the dynasty which is still well-known and respected today for the production of Tuscan wines.
