frequently asked questions (faqs)
Why does Le Corti use cement for aging?
Cement allows the wine to breathe without imparting the toasted wood flavors of barrels, thus preserving the aromatic purity and freshness of the Sangiovese.
What does it mean to be a Chianti Classico from San Casciano?
San Casciano is the northernmost area of the appellation. Its wines tend to be more elegant, perfumed, and with a more pronounced acidity compared to the southernmost areas.
