Principe Corsini

Principe Corsini is celebrated for its exceptional Chianti Classico and IGT wines. With a heritage dating back to the 14th century, this noble estate combines centuries-old traditions with modern winemaking techniques. Located in the heart of Chianti, Principe Corsini focuses on sustainable viticulture, meticulously managing their vineyards to produce wines that capture the essence of the Tuscan terroir. Their wines, particularly those made from Sangiovese, are known for their elegance, depth, and complexity.

Tuscany

Tuscany, one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, is celebrated for its exceptional and diverse wines. Known for its picturesque landscapes and ideal climate, it benefits from a range of terroirs, from rolling hills to coastal areas. The area is particularly famous for its red wines, notably Chianti, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, which offer bright acidity, cherry flavours, and earthy undertones. It also produces prestigious wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, a full-bodied red with complex flavours and excellent ageing potential, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. For whites, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is noted for its crisp, refreshing character. Tuscany blends traditional winemaking with innovative techniques, offering a rich and varied wine experience.
