White Wine

Prince Corsini of the prestigious Tuscan Corsini family, is proud to display to the visitors of Vinitaly his wines from his two wineries: Fattoria Le Corti in Chianti Classico and Tenuta Marsiliana located near Grosseto in Maremma. The two estates differ not only in geographical location; Fattoria Le Corti has been apart of the Corsini family since 1427 and covers 250 hectares of Chianti soil in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, on the splendid hills surrounding Florence where stands the Renaissance Villa in which the family lives; Tenuta Marsiliana, acquired in 1759 covers 2600 hectares in the district of Manciano, just 12km from the sea. With innovative spirits, Tenuta Marsiliana were the first to plant vines in this area in 1996. In both cases the Corsini team have utilised the competent and experienced enologist Carlo Ferrini, which they have been working with since 1992, the year in which Duccio Corsini turned around the production of Le Corti through major quality improvements.

In this occasion of the 40th edition of the Vinitaly we are proud to introuduce a new product in our line-up: Birillo Bianco 2005, the first white wine to be released by Prince Corsini. The grape varieties behind the wine are Vermentino of Tuscany (63%) and Sauvignon Blanc (37%).
