Nearly forty years later, Till is an internationally renowned cheesemaker and Aljoscha oversees Corzano e Paterno's growing and winemaking. In the 1980s, Aljoscha pulled up all but the best Sangiovese vines and replanted the estate's vineyards to low-yielding Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. Aljoscha's "Il Corzano" is a gorgeous wine, a blend of the old-vine Sangiovese and Cabernet, with a little Merlot added for texture. It's one of Tuscany's most powerful and elegant red wines. Drink for the next 5-10 years. Suggested Food Pairings: Drink on its own or with a perfectly ripe piece of Parmesan, some good bread and olive oil.
