Description
Chianti Classico DOCG “Le Corti” is the production base of the Villa Le Corti. The vineyards are located in the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in the northern area of Chianti Classico, about 15 km south of Florence.
The vineyards, all in the hills, are located at an altitude of 220-300 meters above sea level and are exposed mainly to the south. The soils are characterized by an important skeleton and a structure with white river pebbles alternating with brown clays.
The form of farming used is the low spurred cordon, so as to derive maximum benefit from the heat of the earth. Le Corti, the estate’s “vintage” Chianti Classico, is produced with Sangiovese grapes and in a small part Colorino.
It is a wine that interprets the elegance of Chianti Classico.

Tasting Notes
The 2023 vintage has given Chianti Classico Le Corti a serene expression. It shows in the glass with a ruby red color of intriguing transparency and vivid brightness. The delicacy of the color anticipates a nose whose infusion of violets and small berries (fresh cherries and raspberries) gives a strong idea of freshness, plus hints of humus, dried aromatic herbs and a faint ferrous note, a signature of San Casciano’s Sangiovese. The dynamic, juicy sip reiterates a profile of grace and finesse, where delicate tannin and gentle acidity do refine an accessible and satisfying drink.
Pairing
Pasta dishes with sauce – Risotto mantecato with Tuscan pecorino cheese – Tagliolini with white meat sauce – Lasagna with meat sauce or vegetables – Ribollita alla toscana – Eggplant parmigiana – Pizza with sausage or cold cuts.
