Villa Le Corti is located in the town of San Casciano, at the most northern end of the nine Classico zones, just a ten-minute drive south of Florence. The temperature is marginally cooler in this commune than those to the south, and the key sites of the estate sit at relatively high elevations of 250–310m. Despite this, Duccio picks earlier than most – generally 5–6 days earlier – with freshness very much part of the style. The soil differs as well, with a higher proportion of river stones and sand contributing to the lightness of touch the wines show in general.
Current custodian, Duccio Corsini, is of the 22nd generation there, and is understandably proud and passionate about the legacy he has inherited and is enthusiastic about the future. Taking the reins of the estate in the early 1990s, he has implemented changes such as the propagation of indigenous yeasts to allow the wines to speak more fully of their place of origin, and a philosophy of minimal intervention in all aspects of production, including organic farming practices.
