In one of my last weeks in Italy, I toured the Tuscan countryside via Vespa; the eight hour tour took us to some of the most picturesque locations outside of Florence and brought us to some of Tuscany's oldest and most well known wineries in the area. Fattoria Le Corti is a vast estate, still owned by the Corsini family, who live in the villa, as well as run the winery and olive oil production, all located within the property. The Santi di Tito-designed villa sits at the head of the estate and acts as a centerpiece for the entire compound, while being complimented by the sweeping views of rolling hills with never-stopping grape vines, some making the Florence-made Chianti Classico wine, only native to the region. The vast compound is only as beautiful as its surroundings, along with the wine and olive oil is produces onsite. I did not get the pleasure of touring the villa, but I am currently collecting photos of the interior, and will share them soon! Ciao!
