Villa le Corti
About
Among the hills covered with vineyards and woods, in the heart of Chianti Classico, just 16 km from Florence, lies the estate of the Corsini Princes, Villa Le Corti. The villa stands majestically in the middle of a vast meadow, from where you can enjoy a 360° view of the Chianti Classico countryside. From here the free tour of the gardens begins, leading to the Italian Garden, the vegetable garden and the Pomarium to the south, and to the romantic gardens of Donna Anna and Don Tommaso to the north. The lawn is also the "roof" of the imposing cellars, conceived in the early 1600s by Santi di Tito, the designer of the Villa: they contain the rooms dedicated to the production and conservation of wine, the orciaia, the tasting rooms and the osteria.
