THE ESTATE < THE VINEYARD

Tenuta Corbinaia includes about 25 acres of vineyards, located in the hills of Montespertoli that directly surround the Villa.

 

Most of the vineyards have excellent exposure, being south facing. 

The varieties grown on the estate are Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot and Chardonnay and the wines produced have a modern style.

The winery was recently renovated and most of the vineyards were replanted in 2010.  The vines are pruned with the Guyot system and the vineyards are planted with an average density of 4500 plants per hectare.

The yield is low, which ensures very complex and elegant wines.

The Harvest and Vinification

The grapes are harvested manually in small boxes. After harvesting, the processing of the grapes begins with a selection, where the bunches are individually checked and those that do not comply with our quality criteria are discarded .  All operations are carried out manually. The grapes of each vine are vinified separately. After fermentation in steel tanks, all our wines mature in French oak barriques for at least 12 months.

The soil

Tenuta Corbinaia is immersed in the Chianti area, always  recognized as one of the best in the world for the production of wine.

The soil is made up of aerated rock or strong stone. The "skeleton" is characterized by alberese and galestro, ideal for Sangiovese, and sandstone and clay in some vineyards to enhance the characteristics of the terroir.

Vine varieties

The varieties grown on the estate are Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot and Chardonnay.

Vines particularly suited to the climatic characteristics of the area, where they are able to express themselves at their best.

The wines obtained have a modern style but which at the same time respects the tradition and authenticity of Chianti.
