Tasting notes
Le Corti Chianti Classico is an Italian red wine from Tuscany, crafted by Principe Corsini. Made predominantly from Sangiovese, this wine embodies the tradition of the region while catering to modern tastes. The 2002 vintage, in particular, has matured gracefully, offering a deep and layered profile.
In Volume 28 of 'Drops of God', this wine is introduced by Honma to Kido as a Chianti close to what he was searching for. With its remarkable balance and Sangiovese's inherent light and smooth acidity, it's hard to believe it comes at an affordable price. This makes it incredibly easy to drink, offering a delightful experience.
Pouring into the glass, it reveals a deep ruby hue with a hint of brick, indicative of its 24-year aging. The aroma is open and inviting, with notes of dried fig, tea, and hints of violet. On the palate, it starts with a gentle fruitiness followed by lively acidity. The tannins are velvety, elegantly melding into the overall texture.
The finish is moderately long, leaving a lingering impression. The wine's elegance and complexity highlight the best of Sangiovese, making it a must-try for any enthusiast.
