Dario Cecchini, Italian butcher - A Cut above the Rest

Hidden away in the heart of Chianti, Italy is a man who’s preserving the traditions and quality of Tuscan life, Dario Cecchini. The Antica Macelleria Cecchini runs as it has for over 250 years! When you arrive into the village of Panzano in Chianti, you’ll feel you’re found the essence of Tuscany. Your senses are immediately overwhelmed upon your entry into the butcher shop. The aroma of fresh herbs and spices, whole prosciutto’s aging on the wall, the animated sounds of Italian shoppers. You’ll find customers sipping Dario’s wine, sampling preserved meats and local breads & oils as they wait for their turn at the counter.

If you have a kitchen while staying in Tuscany, you’ll be able to try some of his exceptional products and creations. Dario’s way of preserving the traditions of Tuscany and Chianti is to provide you with recipes that enhance the flavour of your purchase.

Stop by on a Sunday morning so that you can also pick up some local produce from the fresh food market.
