The story behind it

The maker

The Ruspoli family has owned Tenuta di Lilliano since 1920, establishing it as one of the benchmark producers of the Chianti Classico region. Under their dedicated stewardship, the estate has focused on crafting authentic, estate-grown wines that reflect the unique limestone and clay soils of their hillside vineyards.

How it is made

Tenuta di Lilliano is a historic estate located in the heart of Castellina in Chianti, where vines have been cultivated for centuries. The property utilizes traditional winemaking practices combined with modern temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the pure, soil-driven character of the region.
