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 appearence with a tendency to garnet during aging over the years. Nose: Very intense and elegant with predominant floral notes, especially violets, typical of Sangiovese from Castellina in Chianti. Flavor: It emerges immediately with tasting the excellent relationship between structure, tannin and freshness of taste. Good acidity that extends drinking and enhances the flavor. Food pairings: The wine is very well suited for long aging, and accompanies perfectly red meats, especially roast venison and casseroles.
