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: Deep red rather intense. Bouquet: Very intense and pleasant floral notes with touches of licorice and herbs and hints of wild berries. Taste: Full bodied wine, very persistent, concentrating in the glass the best that you can have from Sagiovese grapes that ripen on calcareous clay soils of the estate. The wine is very well suited for long aging and accompanies perfectly red meats, especially roasted and stewed game.
