“I try to create sophisticated wines, in which elegance prevails over excessive structure; wines that are capable of subtly seducing, just like a landscape, or an encounter between two people who use every nuance to communicate; wines that welcome good food and good company. In a nut shell: wines to be enjoyed.”

by Duccio Corsini

We would like to inform you that from 6th to 9th April 2014
we will be attending the Vinitaly in Verona.
We’re located in Hall 9 Stand A2 
We would be delighted to meet you and taste together our new wines

Make your Tuscan holiday easy: start by a villa as a stepping stone for comfortable daily excursions, let the kids play in the garden while you relax enjoying a special setting, sipping away at a refreshing drink. Any where in Tuscany you will have sites at a stone throw so do not hassle about driving miles along crowded and hustling roads, sit a café for as long as you wish, people watching is fun and surprising, Travelling in Tuscany is about “piano piano” going slowly………leave something out of your list and give yourself the chance to come back, and more: plan you next trip to another part of this land full of history and beauty.

The museum in Marsiliana is exactly about this. Here we show case all traditional agricultural tools and traditions: The estate was managed from the Castle where the ministers office was located: the “Minister” or ministro had to deal with political issues as well as technical management son the every day routine was often left to the “Alter Ego” who had his own office!

Tommaso Corsini, was also a passionate archaeologist, within the museum one can see a reproduction of an Etruscan Tomb excavated in the estate .

Visits to the museum are done by appointment calling our office
