Tenuta di Lilliano

The grapes that give rise to Chianti Classico derive entirely from the vineyards of the Tenuta di Lilliano and are harvested by hand during the harvest. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in cement tanks with temperature control, and at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine ages partly in large French oak barrels and partly in cement. At the end of the refinement, which lasts 12-14 months, the wine is bottled and subjected to a short refinement in the bottle before consumption.

The grapes that give rise to Anagallis come from the best vineyards of the Lilliano Estate, carefully selected by hand during the harvest. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in small steel tanks with temperature control, and at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine ages in French oak barriques for about 14 months. At the end of this period, at least 10 months of aging in the bottle follow.

The grapes that give rise to the Gran Selezione come from two of the best vineyards of the Tenuta di Lilliano (Piagge and Casina), carefully selected by hand during the harvest. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in small steel tanks with temperature control, and at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine ages in large French oak barrels for 14-15 months. At the end of this period, at least 6 months of aging in the bottle follow.

The grapes that give rise to the Riserva come from the best vineyards of the Lilliano Estate, carefully selected by hand during the harvest.

At the end of this period, at least 6 months of aging in the bottle follow.
