Casa Cecchin

At Montebello Vicentino, Casa Cecchin interprets Durella, the cornerstone grape variety of the Monti Lessini, through two denominations: Lessini Durello DOC and Monti Lessini DOC. This distinctly acidic grape is equally suited to sparkling wines and still wines, and the winery crafts it into a range spanning from lively whites to passito. Beneath lies volcanic soil, which imparts to Durella the mineral backbone and tension essential for refermentation. The two denominations cover complementary expressions of the same grape variety, from everyday wines to meditation wines, all within the Lessini territory. Open for visits and tastings, Casa Cecchin allows guests to follow the journey from volcanic rock to glass on-site: a path that clarifies, better than any description, why Durella remains tied to these slopes. Those wishing to grasp its nuances can stop at the winery and taste the still and sparkling versions side-by-side, appreciating the significance of its volcanic origin.
