Estate
The origin of the name Chianti is not certain: some versions indicate the Latin word clangor (noise) to remind the noise of the hunting in the forests of the area; according to others the name comes from the Etruscan word clante (water) the area was rich of, favouring the growth of the grapes.
Vinification
Selected Chianti vineyards with sandy, clayey and calcareous soil. Old traditional vinification method: completely mature grapes are harvested from vineyards and processed in membrane presses. Soft presses, fermentation at controlled temperatures and prolonged maceration with the skins.
Tasting Notes
Villa Corti Chianti (Sangiovese) offers crisp red fruit (cherries, plums) with cedar/vanilla, medium body, tangy yet smooth taste with good acidity/tannins, pairing
well with red meats, pasta, pizza, and hard cheeses, though Maroni focuses on his "Pleasantness Index" (PI) score (Consistency, Balance, Integrity) for Italian wines.
