Tenuta di Lilliano Chianti Classico Riserva is a Sangiovese red from Tuscany. It is ruby red in color and tends toward garnet as it ages. The nose is intense and elegant, led by floral notes, especially violets, typical of Sangiovese from Castellina in Chianti. On the palate, structure, tannin and freshness are well balanced, and good acidity extends the finish and lifts the flavor.
Borgo di Lilliano has records going back to the Middle Ages, when it was a fortified complex with the Church of Santa Cristina. It later belonged to the Marquis of Tuscany, the Abbey of Poggibonsi and the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova di Firenze. It sat on the border between Siena and Florence and suffered sieges during their wars. Princess Eleonora Ruspoli Berlingieri began bottling and selling wine in 1958, after her family bought the estate in 1920. Giulio and Pietro Ruspoli own it today.
