Immediately, theCorsini’s worked for the modernization andreclamation of the area.At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,Tommaso Corsini, VII Prince of Sismano and senatorof the newborn Kingdom of Italy, transformedMarsiliana into one of the most innovative farms ofthe time where, together with widespreadmechanization, he employed almost exclusivelydependent labor, in contrast to the prevailing Tuscansharecropping tradition.Since 1996 the management of the company has beenentrusted to Duccio Corsini and his sister Sabina.After extensive ampelographic experimentation tounderstand which vines could best express theuniqueness of the place, 20 hectares of vineyardswere planted: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and PetitVerdot.
