Il Corzano Rosso IGT 2021

At the end of the 1960s, the Swiss architect Wendel Gelpke was able to acquire an old, neglected country estate in northern Tuscany, the Fattoria Corzano, from the descendants of a noble Florentine family. A few years later, the neighbouring Paterno estate was added, which was also restored with a great deal of work. Today, the estate comprises 140 hectares of land, 18 of which are planted with vines. Aljoscha Goldschmidt, Wendelin's nephew, runs the estate together with his niece Arianna with dedication and a wonderful calmness that is reflected in his wines. Corzano produces very elegant and soft wines, from the "normal" Chianti to the Riserva "Tre Borri" and an extremely long-lived cuvée of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet - "Il Corzano". The white wine "Corzanello Bianco" also deserves a special mention.
