Meet the Prince: An Insider’s Tuscan Welcome
Step onto one of Chianti Classico’s historic estates and be greeted by Prince Duccio Corsini, custodian of vineyards, olive groves, and centuries of family tradition. In this elegant, private encounter you’ll be welcomed as a personal guest, not just a visitor, beginning your relationship with a grove that soon will hold your name.
Why This Olive Oil Experience Is Truly One-of-a-Kind
This is the only Artviva experience where you adopt an olive tree on a noble Tuscan estate. Your name is set on a plaque in the best grove, you taste estate olive oils and wines, explore remarkable cellars, and enjoy a seasonal Tuscan lunch. Beyond the day, you’ll have the opportunity to receive each new harvest, maintaining a living bond with the land.
From Grove to Table: Your Private Estate Itinerary
Your driver can collect you from Florence or your accommodation for a stress-free journey through rolling vineyards. On arrival, stroll among silver-leafed trees, learn how olives are cultivated and milled in the estate’s tradition, and visit the historic cellars beneath a national-monument villa. A guided tasting reveals the nuances of extra virgin olive oil and the estate’s wines, followed by a relaxed Tuscan lunch paired with select labels.
Heritage & Terroir: Chianti Classico Through Corsini Eyes
The Corsini name is interwoven with Italian history- from Renaissance patronage to papal legacy- yet the estate philosophy remains grounded in nature, seasonality, and meticulous craft. Here, cool, pebble-rich soils shape graceful wines, and the groves produce characterful oils worked in the traditional way.

A Short History of Chianti Classico & the Corsini Legacy
The Chianti hills, shaped by ancient alluvial soils and pebbled terraces, have nurtured olive trees and Sangiovese vines for centuries. Here, families like the Corsini- documented since 1211- balanced commerce, faith, and patronage, helping define Italian art and identity. In the 18th century, Lorenzo Corsini became Pope Clement XII, commissioning Rome’s Trevi Fountain and founding the Musei Capitolini; closer to home, the family’s Villa Le Corti evolved into a benchmark estate for elegant Chianti Classico and distinctive extra virgin olive oil. Today, with techniques respectful of seasonality and traditional milling, the Corsini groves continue a lineage where land, craft, and culture remain inseparable, inviting you to place your name in the story.
