Cortevecchia – Chianti Classico Riserva
A 100% Sangiovese Chianti Classico Riserva made from older vines. On the nose aromas of red and dark cherry with hints of kirsch. There is also some lifted violet, spice, liquorice and mace. On the palate the wine is medium to full with fine grained tannins coated in a silky glove. There is plenty of energy and drive on the palate which has a long and complex finish.

Villa Le Corti - Principe Corsini
Villa Le Corti is located in the northern sector of the Chianti Classico region in the sub-region of San Casciano Val di Pesa. The estate was established as far back as 1363 by the Corsini family, who still own and manage it today. There are almost 50 hA of vines which are organically certified (since 2013). Almost all the vines planted are Sangiovese with a small proportion of other indigenous grapes such as Colorino alongside Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are rich in fruit and body but are always fresh giving a nice balance in style. The winemaker is Claudio Giglioni with Carlo Ferrini consulting.
