700 years of Corsini heritage, organic Chianti Classico
Principe Corsini is a historic Florentine wine and olive oil estate whose roots trace back to 1363, when the noble Corsini family acquired vineyards, olive groves, and a manor house in San Casciano in Val di Pesa. The Corsini lineage spans nine centuries and includes Pope Clement XII and Saint Andrea Corsini. Today the estate is centered on Villa Le Corti, a villa built in the early 17th century for Bartolomeo Corsini, complemented by Tenuta Marsiliana in the Maremma. Since 1992 the winery has been run by Duccio Corsini, who has guided it toward certified organic viticulture (since 2013) and an integrated sustainable approach across vineyard and cellar. Roughly 51 hectares of vineyards, planted mainly with Sangiovese, sit on hillsides at 220-300 meters in the northern part of Chianti Classico, about 15 km south of Florence, producing wines such as Le Corti Chianti Classico DOCG, Cortevecchia Riserva, and the Gran Selezione Don Tommaso.
