Corsignano GLI SPOSI, IGT 2015

Corsignano GLI SPOSI IGT 2015 is a characterful Tuscan red that marries Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese into a polished, food‑friendly blend. Crafted on an organically certified, carbon‑neutral estate just outside Siena, it brings together classic Chianti territory with a more international style. The name “Gli Sposi” – “The Newlyweds” – hints at the harmonious union of grapes and terroir that has become a hallmark of this boutique estate.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, GLI SPOSI 2015 shows a deep ruby core with garnet reflections beginning to appear at the rim, a sign of graceful bottle age. The colour is bright and limpid, suggesting careful handling and a wine made for both pleasure and finesse. The nose opens with ripe red and black berries – think wild cherries, blackberry and plum – layered with notes of dried herbs, violet, cedar, and a fine touch of sweet spice from barrel aging. With a little air, hints of leather, tobacco leaf and a subtle balsamic note emerge, underlining its Tuscan origins. On the palate, the wine is medium to full‑bodied, with Sangiovese’s vibrant acidity giving lift to the richer texture of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Supple yet structured tannins frame flavours of dark cherry, blackcurrant, forest floor and cocoa, finishing long and savoury with a gentle mineral edge. At this stage, the 2015 vintage is entering a lovely drinking window: the primary fruit is still present, but tertiary complexity is unfolding. Well‑stored bottles should continue to drink beautifully for several more years, though there is no need to wait.

Production
Corsignano sits in the rolling hills of Tuscany, in the Chianti Classico area near Siena, where galestro and alberese soils, good altitude and strong day‑night temperature shifts give naturally aromatic, fresh yet structured reds. The estate has been organically certified since 2014 and is fully powered by solar energy, operating as a CO₂‑free, environmentally friendly winery. Vines are farmed sustainably, with careful canopy management and low yields, and grapes are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness to preserve both fruit purity and natural acidity. In the cellar, the three varieties are typically vinified separately in temperature‑controlled tanks, with gentle extraction to avoid harsh tannins, and then matured – partly in oak – before blending, allowing Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to each bring their best expression to the final cuvée.

Food & Serving
GLI SPOSI 2015 is a versatile partner for richly flavoured dishes. It pairs beautifully with classic Tuscan fare such as bistecca alla fiorentina, grilled lamb chops, ragù‑based pasta, wild boar or game, and aged Pecorino or other hard cheeses. It also works well with roast chicken, mushroom risotto or hearty vegetarian dishes featuring lentils, eggplant or roasted root vegetables. Serve at 16–18 °C; if the bottle has been stored cool, allow it to come gently to temperature. Decanting for 30–60 minutes will help the wine open up its more complex aromas and soften the tannins, especially if enjoyed on the younger side of its drinking window.
