✨ Technical Specifications
Villa Cortile represents the prestigious Tuscan legacy of the Piccini family, a winemaking dynasty founded in 1882 by Angiolo Piccini in the heart of Chianti. Driven by a philosophy of showcasing Tuscany's diverse terroirs, the family expanded their reach to the sun-drenched, wind-swept hills of Montalcino, where the Villa Cortile estate is situated. This wine is crafted from Sangiovese, thriving in soils rich in clay, limestone, and schist. The maritime breezes and excellent sun exposure allow the grapes to ripen slowly, developing intense complexity and balanced acidity. Traditionally aged in oak casks, Villa Cortile showcases a classic Tuscan profile: vibrant red cherry and wild berry fruit layered with savory notes of leather, forest floor, and dried herbs, supported by firm, elegant tannins.
