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.
