Experience Adopt a Vine with Prince Corsini in Chianti

Step into a living tradition on one of Chianti Classico’s most storied estates, Villa Le Corti. This immersive, private experience invites you to adopt a vine and join an 800-year legacy of winemaking. Walk through sunlit rows of Sangiovese, explore monumental cellars, and enjoy an elegant Tuscan lunch hosted on the estate.

What Makes This Wine Experience Unique

This is far more than a tasting. You are welcomed as a personal guest into the world of Prince Duccio Corsini, where history, hospitality, and meticulous viticulture meet. Your name is commemorated on a vine in the estate’s best vineyard, creating a lasting bond with Chianti that you can revisit and celebrate year after year.

Your Curated Vineyard-to-Table Itinerary

Arrive at Villa Le Corti and stroll through orderly vineyards as your host introduces the terroir of San Casciano’s cool, pebble-rich soils. Continue into the historic cellars, national monuments carved deep beneath the villa, to learn about traditional and sustainable methods. Your experience culminates with a refined Tuscan lunch in the Osteria, thoughtfully paired with Principe Corsini wines and extra virgin olive oil.

Culture, Heritage, and Noble Craft in Chianti

The Corsini family has shaped Italian culture for centuries, from commissioning masterpieces in Rome to preserving Tuscany’s agricultural excellence. Today, that legacy lives in a focused portfolio of Chianti Classico wines made with respect for seasonality and nature. Every detail reflects a philosophy of elegance, restraint, and place.

The Story Behind The Destination

Chianti’s reputation as a center of fine wine reaches back to the Middle Ages, but it was in the Renaissance that the region’s identity took shape around Sangiovese and the careful stewardship of noble families. In San Casciano, the Corsini established Villa Le Corti in the early fifteenth century, designing an estate that balanced beauty, agriculture, and innovation. The monumental cellars beneath the villa safeguarded harvests and refined techniques that endure today. With cool soils rich in pebbles and elevations between 220 and 350 meters, the vineyards yield wines prized for finesse and aromatic purity. Adopting a vine here is not simply symbolic. It ties you to a centuries-long narrative of land, craft, and culture that continues to define Chianti Classico.
