Description
Tenuta di Lilliano is located in Castellina in Chianti, on the side overlooking the Valdelsa. The Ruspoli family, current owner of this historic village of Castellina, has about 40 hectares of vineyards mostly cultivated with Sangiovese on clayey-limestone soils.
Giulio Gambelli, master taster and great interpreter of Tuscan Sangiovese, in the 1950s assisted Eleonora Ruspoli Berlingieri in creating and bottling the first vintage of Chianti Classico Lilliano in 1958.
The Chianti Classico Riserva di Lilliano is a wine of great elegance and longevity and capable of taking on that reductive evolution in the bottle that becomes olfactory minerality.
