Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a gem of Chianti Classico, a wine that embodies elegance and tradition. This is not just a wine, it is a story of terroir, passion and craftsmanship that you are about to taste.
Nestled in the heart of Chianti, the Lilliano estate grows its vines on clay and limestone soils, giving this Chianti Classico DOCG a distinctive minerality and an inviting freshness. This wine is mainly made from Sangiovese (90%), complemented by 5% Colorino and 5% Merlot, a blend that gives it its complexity and character.
The 2021 vintage of this Chianti Classico reveals a deep red color. On the nose, you will be charmed by notes of ripe cherry, red fruits and flowers, interwoven with sweet spices, with a light touch of tobacco and leather that marks its aging. On the palate, it displays a remarkable balance between lively acidity and soft tannins, offering a medium-full body and an aromatic persistence where fruits and spices answer each other harmoniously. Traditional vinification in steel and aging of at least 12 months in oak barrels, followed by bottle refinement, contribute to its structure and richness.
To fully appreciate this Chianti Classico, I suggest serving it between 18 and 20°C. It will beautifully enhance red meats, aged cheeses and typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Each sip is an invitation to a sensory journey, a celebration of Tuscan authenticity that you are sure to appreciate.
