Tenuta di Lilliano

Wonderfully aromatic, fresh and inviting Rosato from the small family winery. Strong pink to cherry red. Fresh on the palate, with good structure and pleasant mouth-filling, fine acidity, fruity in the medium-long finish with beautiful berry and orange notes - for us a perfect companion to Mediterranean fish cuisine.

Deep, dark Riserva with a powerful berry bouquet and intense spicy notes and hints of damp forest soil. Taut on the palate, crisp fruit, solid tannin, good length. Lots of energy, nice spice and great potential! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Chianti Classico Riserva is earthy and rich with a warm, velvety texture that spreads evenly over the palate. The wine shows dark fruit, dried blackberry and Morello cherry with an equal dose of leather, tar and spice. This is a dense and thickly textured medium to full-bodied Riserva with some dryness to the tannins and some mild astringency. It is a very tightly compacted and concentrated wine that would pair nicely with a maghmour, or Lebanese-style moussaka." Robert Parker

Intense ruby garnet. Powerful nose of savoury cherries, spicy notes, liquorice and plum. Equally powerful, juicy and complex on the palate, with finely marked fruit and present, fine-grained tannin. The tension of this wine extends into the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rather sweet and gorgeous. An interesting blend of Tuscan hillside Sangiovese and some sweetness and polish. I could so imagine drinking this in a Manhattan wine bar or restaurant. It's attractively transparent so very 21st century, just a little sweeter than some, but super-charming." Jancis Robinson

"The Tenuta di Lilliano 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a lean and streamlined red wine to enjoy with some toasted Tuscan bread and chicken-liver terrine. With a full and elegant bouquet, it brings forward wild berry, wild rose, tilled earth and candied orange peel. The wine is tonic and clean with a pretty level of inner tension and grace that was not easy to achieve in this unusually dry and hot vintage." Robert Parker

"Ripe cherries and lightly stewed fruit on the nose with flowers and dried earth. Nutmeg, too. Full-bodied with loads of juicy fruit. Chewy at the end. Dense." James Suckling
