Corti

Origins of the Corsini family

The Corsini family, one of Tuscany's oldest and most remarkable families, came to Florence in 1100 from the area around Poggibonsi, a small town between Florence and Siena. After entering political and church life, family members distinguished themselves in many fields. Andrea di Niccolò (1302–1374) served as Bishop of Florence and was canonized in 1624. Cardinal Lorenzo (1652–1740) was elected Pope in 1730 and took the name Clemente XII.

Le Corti

Le Corti has been owned by Prince Corsini since 1427. The original winery was built in the late 16th century. Its historic cellars have been preserved in their original condition and now house a wine shop. Since 1992, Le Corti has focused on producing quality wines worthy of the Chianti Classico name.

Other family holdings

The family also owns Tenuta Marsiliana in Maremma, named after Bella Marsili, who was abducted by Turkish pirates and presented to the Sultan of Constantinople.

Today, as well as producing wine and olive oil, Le Corti offers guided tours where visitors can learn about the family's history, explore its historic buildings, and taste the winery's products.
