Description
History
Val delle Corti was born thanks to the realization of a dream of Giorgio Bianchi, who wanted to live in the countryside and produce wine in 1974 and moved from Milan to Radda with his family. With the participation of his wife Eli they renovated an abandoned farmhouse, replanted some vineyards and built a small cellar, from that moment began an era of great work and dedication for the production of Chianti Classico and more. Since 1999 the company has been carried on by his son Roberto and his wife Lis, who thanks to their commitment and determination have brought Val delle Corti and its products to a level of international reputation.

On the nose it releases floral notes of violet, followed by hints of ripe cherry and small red fruits, accompanied by spicy hints, nuances of leather and fine woods. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied structure, with fine tannins and well harmonized with the ripe fruit. The sip is long and satisfying, with a persistent finish and a pleasant freshness.
