About the winery
Lecci e Brocchi is a family business where wine is a passion that the father “Il Chiorba” has handed down to his daughter “Luciana” and grandson “Giovanni.” They are based in the south of Chianti Classico, at Villa A Sesta, where their vineyard enjoys a unique soil “galestro” whose volcanic mineral properties give the wines a special scents and taste that reflects the unique style of the terroir. The first bottle came out in August 2012 reflecting an authentic and traditional interpretation that, in its essence, encourages the truest expression of the Chianti Classico that goes beyond the modern style of wines enriched via the use of wood or international variety vines. Their characterful expression has immediately found an audience that knows how to appreciate the different offerings that the Tuscan Terroir offers. Since 2019 they have become fully organic.
