The best wineries in San Casciano in Val di Pesa.
The cellar is located on the ground floor of the main house located in the center of the natural amphitheater of the vineyards. The space inside is simple and functional, following a philosophy that does not allow itself to be distracted by the large decorations but which devotes all attention to the production of wine. The modern and practical steel mixes with the wood of the large 10 and 50 hectolitre oak barrels that give body but do not weigh down with too pronounced notes. In these the wines evolve for a period of one year to three years and rest in the bottle for another one to two years.
The Corsini family is one of the oldest and most important noble Italian families, honored in Spain with the title of “Pari” and in Italy of that of Princes, hence the name of the company. Duccio Corsini leads personally, with great freshness of ideas, energy and passion, the two wineries of the family: Le Corti and Marsiliana.
Le Corti, with a continuous history of almost six centuries, is the historical company of San Casciano, the northern area of Chianti Classico: owned by the Corsini family since 1427, it has always been dedicated to vines and olive trees. The approximately 50 hectares of vineyard and almost 14,000 olive trees are combined into a landscape of remarkable beauty, with steep and stony slopes, dominated by the wonderful Renaissance villa. Given the great vocation of this land to Sangiovese, the production is focused on three Chianti Classico: the elegant and balanced Le Corti, the more complex and austere Cortevecchia Reserve, the rich, soft and powerful Don Tommaso. The range includes also three products that represent three different ways of reading the Chianti Classico territory through its main grape: Zac IGT Toscana 100% Sangiovese from a single vineyard, Rosé Le Corti, a rosé from Sangiovese, and the sparkling wine Charmat method Principe Corsini rosé, obtained from grapes of Sangiovese with a brief stay on the lees.
Marsiliana, located in Manciano in southern Maremma, one of the largest agriculture and hunting farms on the Tuscan coast. From the about 20 hectares devoted to vines, two international red wines of great interest are obtained. Marsiliana (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah) is a rich, warm and deep, typically Mediterranean blend. Birillo is an original mini–supertuscan produced from cabernet and merlot grapes.
Tuscany, the cradle of culture and famous men, but also a land of noble wines.
In the municipality of San Casciano, the Florentine Niccolò Machiavelli wrote “The Prince”, and always here continued the work of his father, cultivating olive trees and vineyards.
So the greatness of Niccolò blends with nature, with the genuineness and with the traditions.
Around the tiny village the vineyards and olive groves of the old Fontalle farm are located, 27 hectares of vineyards of special cultivation produce the famous Chianti Classico DOCG and its reserve, as well as other special selections of exclusive wines.
And yet beautiful forests of cypress and oak frame the village where time seems to stand still.
The cellars under the house of Machiavelli have remained the same “celle di vino di contro a detto albergaccio” mentioned in a document of 1498.
Several small oak barrels of high quality fine, as at that time, slowly the wines of the vineyard of Fontalle.
The ancient Machiavelli Farm is one of the six symbols of the oldest Chianti tradition.
It rises in Sant’Andrea Percussina, in San Casciano Val di Pesa, in the province of Florence.
The winery, built 500 years ago, is developed in the basement of what was once the home of Machiavelli, in the long years of exile from Florence, where the wines are aged still today in French oak barrels.
At the "Albergaccio", contiguous to the winery, in 1512 and from 1513 onwards, Niccolò Machiavelli lived confined, alternating the exercise of writing, the care of the fields, and finding modest entertainment at the famous Hosteria.
Machiavelli was careful administrator of his vineyards and his estates, which followed and cared about personally.
A careful restoration has brought back today the "Osteria" ("Albergaccio") to the original structure.
The kitchen and small rooms, furnished mostly with original furniture of the house–museum, allow guests to taste in the most congenial atmosphere to enjoy the simple dishes of rural tradition and prestigious wines of the Vineyard of Fontalle and Poggio. Machiavelli is the prestige brand of Tuscany, exclusively reserved for the traditional channel, which offers a savvy consumer a selection of Tuscan wines of the highest quality, image and limited quantities that come only from vineyards of property.
The vines, about 27 hectares of Sangiovese grown in Guyot and spurred cordon, are grown on highly suited land on the hills at 300 meters above sea level, facing south.
The company has its roots in history (the history of the family has 9 centuries). The wines produced, the result of both native and international grape varieties, are of excellent quality.
The Poggio Torselli estate sprawls over the Tuscan hills in the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa. This is Chianti Classico country. The superb landscape offers sweeping views over about 30 hectares of verdant vineyards and 2,700 olive trees. In the Tuscan countryside, fragrances and colors intoxicate the senses of those who love and cherish them, an instinct that is second nature at Poggio Torselli. In more practical terms, Poggio Torselli's mission is to pass on the savors and colors of this noble land,by maintaining a healthy balance of modern agronomic techniques and respect for the territory as a whole.
The company is now in the hands of the American Beringer Blass, one of the most important wine companies in the world. The wines have benefited from this new management, but the technical staff remains exclusively Italian. The grape varieties grown are predominantly Sangiovese, and the wines produced are modern and clean.
Il Borghetto is a fairly new company, which now has six hectares of land planted with vines. The style of the products is original and of quality. Therefore, the company is considered one of the best in the Chianti Classico area.
