![Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2019]()
Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2019
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
"Bright ruby red with garnet glints. In the nose of rich sour cherries and wild berries, slightly peppery in the aftertaste. On the palate with clear red fruit, fresh and juicy, the tannin still seems very youthful." Falstaff
"A blend of Sangiovese (90%) with smaller percentages of Merlot and Colorino, the 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva reveals a darkly saturated appearance and a heavier aromatic load of black fruit, ripe cherry, plum, spice and sweet potting soil. The wine finishes with medium-rich concentration, herbal tones and the natural freshness that comes from Sangiovese." Wine Advocate

![Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2019]()
Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG 2019
Intense ruby garnet. Powerful nose of savoury cherries, spicy notes, light leather, orange and plum. Equally powerful, juicy and complex on the palate, with finely marked fruit and present, fine-grained tannin. The tension of this polished wine extends into the long, elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium ruby red with garnet rims. In the nose inviting with red berry fruits, ripe heart cherries and raspberries, underlaid with nuances of orange peel, cedar rounds off the bouquet. On the palate finely structured, spreads juicily over the tongue, nice pressure, extremely elegant and with good drinking flow." Falstaff
"Executed in a classic style with streamlined fruit weight and elegant berry aromas, the 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is true to the Sangiovese grape, of which this is a 100% expression. The wine offers sultry, dark plum and spice with forest floor and black olive. The wine ends with a medium-short close and nice freshness. This is a limited production of 5,000 bottles."

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
