Chianti Classico Gran Selezione – Tenuta Lilliano

The grapes used to produce the Chianti Gran Selezione Lilliano come from two of the finest vineyards at Tenuta di Lilliano (Piagge and Casina), carefully hand-selected during the harvest. Leggi di più

Grape Composition:
Chianti Gran Selezione Lilliano produced with grapes: 90% Sangiovese, 5% Colorino, 5% Merlot

Production Technique:
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages partially in large barrels and partially in French oak tonneaux for approximately 15 months.

This is followed by at least 6 months of bottle refinement.

Tasting Notes:
Color: Deep, intense red with a youthful rim that remains fresh even as the wine ages in the bottle.
Aroma: Very intense, bold, floral with notes of licorice, aromatic herbs, and subtle hints of wild berries.
Taste: A wine of great structure, highly consistent and persistent, encapsulating the finest qualities of the Sangiovese grapes grown on the calcareous-clay soils of Tenuta di Lilliano.

Pairings:
The Chianti Gran Selezione Lilliano is excellent for long aging and pairs perfectly with red meats, especially roast and stewed game.

One hundred seventy-five hectares (430 acres) in a single estate set in the heart of the Montefalco DOCG area. The plots, clayey and rich in limestone, have various geological origins: some are deep, while others are rocky, thereby providing intense and varied nuances to the wines. The hills are pristine, surrounded by wooded areas and have an ideal microclimate for vines and olive trees. Ten hectares (24 acres) are dedicated to olive groves, while 50 (123 acres) are covered by vineyards; these crops are located on the hilltops, with southern and western exposure. We cultivate mainly native varietals: Grechetto and Trebbiano Spoletino for the whites, while the red varietals are mainly Sangiovese and Sagrantino.

At the heart of the property, just below the original manor house, is the Winery; the cellars are completely underground and designed for gravity vinification, with the pressed grapes falling down into the fermentation tanks and the pomace discarded without pumps, simply using the force of gravity.
