Le Corti 2016 Chianti Classic/ Classico

To leave a mark: this is the unspoken commitment that silently dictates the daily life of the Corsini Family.To add a new page to nine centuries of history, during which commerce, finance, politics, religion, diplomacy and agriculture have offered, from time to time and often at the same time, the chance to show off personal skills.Today, this mark can essentially come from the agricultural landscape, which needs to be protected and used in a sustainable way.This is at the heart of Duccio Corsinis work in the Chianti Classico region, with Villa Le Corti, and in the Maremma region near Grosseto, with their Marsiliana Estate.Wine and oil production, hospitality and hunting: the familys mission is to find the perfect balance between agriculture and conservation.As Duccio Corsini often says, getting our shoes dirty with soil makes us farmers who produce air.Once upon a time, it was art that left a mark and the Corsini were incredible art patrons: but today, it is caring for the land that gives lasting meaning to beauty and progress.

Tasting Notes

The fresh vintage enhances the immediate expressiveness of Chianti Classico terroir in San Casciano Val di Pesa, for a wine with fragrant and vibrant vitality from the Sangiovese and Colorino vineyards of Tenuta Villa Le Corti, managed according to organic viticulture. Brilliant ruby red glass with a refined aromatic phrasing of violets and iris, and fresh shades of red berries with currants and freshly picked cherries, and the vitality of orange and peppery spicy. The mouth is a juicy stream with notes of pomegranate and red plums, delicate tannins defined by balsamic elements and refreshing peppery finish.
