The Tuscan Wine-Making Technique
Duccio Corsini says, “We have made some significant choices: 1. opting for a low-trained spurred cordon cultivation system so the vines can benefit from the earth’s warmth; 2. finding the right balance by planting no more than 6000 vines/hectare; 3. stay traditional and never make use of drip irrigation systems.”
The wines and oil from the Principe Corsini estates are produced with total respect for nature and seasonality. Thanks to the uniqueness of the vines, each wine is a true expression of the territory of origin. As well as oil, still worked in the traditional way in the old mill owned by the Corsini family.
