The Estate
Tuscany is a rather cosmopolitan place, Chianti even more so, but there are few estates with such an international character as Corzano e Paterno, located on the Pesa river valley side of San Casciano Val di Pesa. Property of the Gelpke-Goldschmidt family, the wines, have now, for decades, shown off the winemaking skills of Aljoscha Goldschmidt, Swiss in terms of nationality, but resident in Tuscany from the 1970’s.
He has been helped for more than a decade by Arianna Gelpke, who took her degree in oenology in Florence and is the daughter of Wendel Gelpke, the farm’s founder, who bought it at the end of the 1960s.
Goldschmidt’s wife Antonia is Anglo-Italian and in charge of the cheese production, produced with the milk from the 600 sheep raised by his cousin Till Gelpke.
