“Ruspoli” Chianti Classico DOCG 2019
Rich ruby red. Bouquet of rose hips and ripe raspberries, juicy and gripping on the palate. For us, another beautiful facet of the Chianti Classico, as it must be: authentic, drinkable and with excellent value! SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium red; fruity-woody-barrelled, inviting; powerful, richness, good depth, barrelled, juicy, quite good tannin, very nice." Merum
"Sparkling ruby with a slight garnet shimmer. Shows a fine scent of blossoms on the nose, some violets, wrapped in goji berries and ripe raspberries. Clear and straightforward on the palate, showing fresh fruit on the attack, fine-meshed tannin, firm and sturdy on the final." Falstaff

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2018
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
"Bright ruby red. In the nose with inviting red berry fruit, rich heart cherries and raspberries, underlaid with fine nuances of oranges, delicate light leather rounds off the bouquet. Elegant and polished on the palate, spreads salty over the tongue, fine pressure, extremely elegant also in the final." Falstaff

The Tenuta di Lilliano is a small pearl in the confusing Chianti Classico wine-growing region. The company has remained true to its principles even during the seductive times of the Chianti boom, producing fantastic wines with a classic approach and modern touches. In 1958 Princess Eleonora Ruspoli Berlingieri started to produce and sell fine wines. Her family had acquired the estate in 1920. Today the Tenuta di Lilliano is owned by Giulio (manager) and Pietro Ruspoli. Located in the Elsa valley between Castellina and Monteriggioni, the estate covers an area of 460 hectares, 50 of which are planted with vines. Although the medieval structure has been preserved in topography, cellar and ring wall, the architectural structure changed until the 19th century.
The Tenuta di Lilliano produces wines, grappa and olive oil, but also offers travellers hospitality in ten ancient country houses, recently restored. The vineyards are planted exclusively with red wines - the local varieties Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino del Valdarno as well as the French Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes. The berries thrive on mostly stony and calcareous Albereese soils. In new vineyards, Sangiovese has been planted exclusively with clones from the research project initiated by the Chianti Classico Consortium. "Chianti Classico 2000" come from.
The Tenuta di Lilliano mainly works traditionally during vinification and ageing. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled concrete tanks lined with glass. Depending on the type of wine, the further maturation of the plants takes place in steel tanks or barriques. Lorenzo Landi is the oenologist and Andrea Brunelli is the cellarmaster responsible for production. The bottle treasures in the estate's own wine cellar include the "Chianti Classico Lilliano"the "Chianti Classico Lilliano Gran Selezione" and the IGT wine "anagallis"whose name derives from a small orange flower growing in the Chianti area.

"The Ruspoli family has not abandoned their belief in something like the typicality of Chianti Classico, but with each new vintage they stakes out what we could understand as terroir." Andreas März, Editor-in-Chief Merum
