Clio Cicogni

History & Philosophy

Clio Cicogni is a family-run winery in Montevarchi, Tuscany. The estate covers about 10 hectares of vineyards in the Valdambra / Valdarno area, between Ambra and Bucine.

The winery follows organic and biodynamic principles, focusing on sustainability, biodiversity, and minimal intervention both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Their philosophy is to produce single-varietal wines, allowing each grape variety and vineyard plot to express its true character.

Vineyard & Viticulture

• Vineyards are organically farmed with biodynamic methods in practice.

• Soils are typical of the eastern Tuscan hills, offering a mix of clay, limestone, and marl.

• Harvest is done manually in crates, with strict selection of grapes on the vine.

• Yields are kept deliberately low to ensure concentration and authenticity of fruit.

Winemaking & Style

• Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, without additives.

• Wines are vinified with minimal intervention and generally bottled with little or no filtration.

• Sulfur use is very limited, just enough to guarantee stability.

• The style is clean but natural, with a focus on balance, purity, and varietal typicity.

Wines

Examples of their wines include:

• Sangiovese — Tuscan red with freshness and structure.

• Trebbiano Toscano — white with minerality and citrus tones.

• Malvasia — aromatic white with floral and herbal notes.

• Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot — international varieties reinterpreted through organic farming in Tuscany.
