‘EXTRA’: ‘Unexpected, out of the ordinary’. As part of our ongoing, obsessive pursuit of the deepest spirit of Val delle Corti’s Sangiovese grape, in certain special and important years we make a small selection of a few barrels where the Riserva matures. This wine is left to lie pea-cefully for one year longer than the Riserva itself (for a total of 36 months). It follows its own captivating and unusual path, and is bottled without filtration. Over the next few years the “Extra” selection will increasingly be made from our new cru vineyard, La Malpensata. Our goal is not to create a deliberately powerful, robust, opulent wine. Quite the opposite. We aim to bottle the quintessence of the Sangiovese grape grown in our vineyards, its highest possi-ble expression of elegance, smoothness and rich body.

Val delle Corti is a small, family-run farm with five hectares of specialized vineyards plus a couple more which are rented, as well as about 600 olive trees. The property is organically farmed (certification will be official in 2014) and partly biodynamic. The vineyards, aged between four and 40 years old, produce five wines: three table wines (the reds, Il Campino and Lo Straniero, and a Rosé), a Chianti Classico and a Riserva. Completing the picture is a renovated stone-walled barn, now used for holiday accommodation. Visitors are always welcome, preferably by prior agreement by phone. Mehr lesen
