Val delle Corti

About Val delle Corti

Roberto Bianchi farms his vineyard facing Le Pergole Torte. You might think that having an opposite exposure to that famous vineyard would be a disadvantage; but it’s quite the contrary when you factor in global warming. Roberto’s father was ridiculed and thrown out of the DOCG a generation ago for his lightly-colored, acidic Sangiovese. How the tides have turned. Roberto’s vineyards are full of flowers by day and fireflies by night. A large hill in the background gives shade to the too-hot sun of recent years, and the almost 500 m. / 1640 ft. altitude brings an exhilarating tweak to the well-known elegance of Radda. Seven hectares, compost, native yeasts, certified organic, Slow Wine Snail Award, Espresso Award, all the other awards.
