The choice was determined by its strategic position near Florence, by the quality of the land highly suited to agriculture and, in particular, by the presence of an oil mill for the production of oil.\u003cbr\u003eAt the beginning of the \u003cstrong\u003e17th century\u003c\/strong\u003e, Bartolomeo Corsini (1545-1613), entrusted to the painter and architect Santi di Tito (1536-1603) the project for the \u003cstrong\u003econstruction of Villa Le Corti\u003c\/strong\u003e and its \u003cstrong\u003ecellars\u003c\/strong\u003e, the first large building wanted by the family to underline its social and political status.\u003cbr\u003eAfterwards the Villa was built from the ground up; in this period the new premises used for the farm were built and, in particular, the immense cellars that unfold on three levels under the villa and the surrounding lawn: a real monument of wine history.\u003cbr\u003eSince \u003cstrong\u003e1992\u003c\/strong\u003e the company has been run by Duccio Corsini, son of Philip IX Prince of Sismano who, the following year, led the first harvest under the new Principe Corsini brand.\u003cbr\u003eToday the farm extends over 230 hectares of which almost 50 are destined for the cultivation of the \u003cstrong\u003evineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e and another 63 hectares reserved for \u003cstrong\u003eolive trees\u003c\/strong\u003e. The remaining land was deliberately left in the woods with a view to respecting the balance of the territory and biodiversity.\u003cbr\u003eThe main goal of Fattoria di Villa Le Corti is to produce \u003cstrong\u003ehigh quality Chianti Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e, a distinctive product that is able to accurately express the territory of origin while respecting the environment, seasonality, the rhythms of nature and, above all, the unicity of the vines. For this reason, \u003cstrong\u003esince 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e, the estate has chosen to cultivate all the vineyards following the rules of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic cultivation\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43706694729979,"sku":"00073563","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/d7a95810cefbd0db7ecb9a9d575abcb0.jpg?v=1663374184","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/le-corti-chianti-classico-sangiovese-toscana-it-2018","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
