Tenuta di Lilliano Chianti Classico is a red wine from Tuscany, made from Sangiovese, Colorino and Merlot. The 2022 is bright ruby red with red cherries on the nose. The medium-bodied palate shows redcurrants, cherries, cloves, cinnamon and a touch of violet, ending in a classic spicy finish. Soft tannins and typical Chianti acidity support the fresh fruit.
Borgo di Lilliano has records going back to the Middle Ages, when it was a fortified complex with the Church of Santa Cristina. It sits on the old border between Siena and Florence and was besieged during their wars. The architecture reached its eighteenth century appearance while keeping its medieval cellars and walls. The Ruspoli family bought the estate in 1920, and Princess Eleonora Ruspoli Berlingieri began bottling and selling wine in 1958. Giulio and Pietro Ruspoli own it today.
