Villa Corti Don Tommaso

Villa Corti is the wine estate of the historic Corsini family, whose roots in Tuscany date back centuries. Located near Florence in the Chianti Classico appellation, the estate combines traditional Tuscan viticulture with meticulous modern cellar practices, emphasizing sustainable farming and long-term vineyard stewardship.

“Don Tommaso” is the estate’s flagship wine, named in honour of an ancestor of the Corsini family. Classified as Chianti Classico Gran Selezione, the wine is produced from carefully selected estate vineyards planted at higher elevations on galestro and limestone-rich soils. These conditions help produce Sangiovese with concentration, aromatic complexity, and vibrant acidity.

The wine is predominantly Sangiovese, often with a small addition of Cabernet Sauvignon depending on the vintage. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks with extended maceration to build structure and depth. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for an extended period before additional bottle maturation, resulting in a polished yet terroir-driven expression of Chianti Classico.
