The Story:
Corsini Ruggeri represents the dream of two agricultural scientists who left city life behind to create something special in the Langhe hills. Named after both their estate's historic hamlet (Corsini) and Nicola's mother (Ruggeri) who helped make their dream possible, this wine embodies the passion and dedication of a true family venture.
