The long-established Corsini family owns two properties in Tuscany: Villa Le Corti in Chianti Classico and Tenuta Marsiliana in the Maremma. Villa Le Corti, a stately Renaissance villa, dates back to the 16th century, while the surrounding estate extends to over 250ha, with 49ha planted to vines. Today the estate is today run by Duccio Corsini and winemaker Carlo Ferrini. A blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino and Canaiolo, this riserva spent 20 months in large and small French oak casks. 

Susan Hulme MW:Heady red fruit aromas yield to a palate offering lively acidity, illuminating the sappy red cherry fruit. 

Andrew Jefford: On the nose there are floral touches with a vivid, expansive warmth of fruit, heightened by a spicy finesse. In the mouth this is a concentrated, gathered wine of great density, poise and expressive force, but never at the expense of elegance. 

Monty Waldin: Well put-together, delivering ripe flavours of dark plum. Notably dark and plump.
