He was thus the first official “palatista” (= taster) in Italy and knew how to separate the wheat from the chaff. That’s very useful when you trade in wine. Luigi selected the best Chiantis and made sure the high quality of Tuscan wine got attention, both within and especially outside Italy. This made Cecchi one of the first international wine brands. In the beginning everything revolved around Chianti.
