The Tenuta di Lilliano estate, co-owned by brothers Giulio and Pietro Ruspoli, has been managed by Giulio Ruspoli since 1989; his nephew Alessandro represents the estate on the international markets. The Ruspolis are an ancient aristocratic Italian family with a history in Tuscany dating back to the Renaissance and, in Rome, to the 17th century. Lilliano’s current owners still live in the historical Ruspoli Palace in the centre of Rome.The vineyards cover an area of 40 hectares, mostly cultivated with Sangiovese, with a small amount of other autochthonous and international grape varieties.
Color: Ruby red, young with deep intensity and hue. Fragrance: Fruity and floral, with a good intensity, accompanied by light spicy notes, typical to the Chianti classico.Taste: Smooth taste with firm but supple tannins. The right acidity extends the persistence of taste and enhances the flavor. Food Pairings: The wine is well suited from medium to long aging, and the perfect companion for any dish of meat, white or red, seasoned cheeses and cold meat platters of Chianti.
