Familia Cecchin Graciana

Familia Cecchin Graciana is deep red with aromas of spice, vanilla and raspberry notes. In the mouth it is round and smooth with more red fruit flavours combining the sweet tannins and a long satisfying finish.

Full of dreams and adventures to discover, María and Santiago Cecchin arrived in Argentina as far back as 1910, leaving their native Treviso behind. Since then, they have dearly bequeathed their love for the land; a land that should be treated with passion and tenderness.

In 1959, Don Pedro and Jorge Cecchin embraced the family tradition, strengthening the production of natural goods, honoring natural life and protecting Mother Earth. Today, it is Alberto Cecchin who keeps this 100 year-old tradition alive, making artisanal chemical-free products, inviting us to dream of a better place, live the landscapes, enjoy this rural house and fall in love with the natural world; a world for all of us.

The crops in all three of the estates that make up Bodega Cecchin have been certified for organic farming as of 2005. Cecchin‘s handling and processing in the winery is also certified as organic from 2005, so its wines are subsequently certified organic.

Bodega Cecchin also farms biodynamically, but only in a small portion of the vineyards (just 2 hectares in each of the three estates). This is because biodynamic farming is too labour-intensive to be implemented over a larger area of vines. Bodega Cecchin owns not only vineyards planted with a wide range of different grape varieties, but also peach, fig and apricot orchards, olive, walnut and almond groves. The planting of these different crops is necessary to comply with the rules stipulated by the organic certifying agency, OIA

Giving birth to an organic wine is to foster a natural environment where vines live together with other plants, favoring ecological balance. Their vines welcome a rich variety of vegetation that grows in chemical-free soil.

They pick the fruit at the precise moment, treating it with respect, giving it time and space. This way, their farming and production procedures carry a stamp of “no chemicals” all through the process, preserving the environment. Their wines, oils and grape juice have been produced with the same philosophy for more than 100 years.
