Corzano e Paterno Chianti Terre di Corzano 2024

If you’ve shopped with us before, you know we have a massive soft spot for under-the-radar, family-run estates that prioritize authenticity over mass production. Located in the San Casciano Val di Pesa zone (just south of Florence in the Colli Fiorentini), Corzano e Paterno is doing some of the most exciting work in the region right now.

This isn’t one of those modern, over-extracted, oak-heavy Tuscans that tastes like it’s trying to be a Napa Cabernet. This is classic, organic, pure-expression Sangiovese blended with just a touch of indigenous Canaiolo. It’s fermented naturally, allowing the true personality of the San Casciano hills to take center stage.

Incredibly inviting and vibrant, the 2024 vintage delivers a brilliant core of dark red fruits balanced by that signature, snappy Tuscan acidity. The tannins are present but beautifully integrated, giving it an elegant, lively frame and a long, savory finish.

It’s the ultimate food wine. It has enough substance to hold up to a rich ragù, grilled ribeye, or a hearty winter stew, but it’s fresh and light on its feet enough to enjoy alongside a simple plate of aged pecorino.
If you’re looking for a bottle that captures the honest, rustic elegance of Tuscany without a pretentious price tag, this is it. Snag a few bottles for the week—you’ll want more than one.
