Description
Still red from Tuscany, 2019 vintage, produced by Valdellecorti. 100% Sangiovese. 0.75L bottle, 14% ABV. A wine born from the passion of Giorgio Bianchi, who moved to Tuscany in 1974 to realize his dream: making wine. The winery is family-run, with 5 hectares of vineyards cultivated organically and biodynamically. Fermentation takes place for 3 weeks in stainless steel or 2 weeks in open barrels, with punching down and natural yeasts. Aged in wood for 24 months in old barriques and barrels and 6 months in bottle.
Pairings
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. Read more
