In the heart of Tuscany, Lilliano Winery produces one of the finest examples of Chianti Classico DOCG, a wine that elegantly expresses the richness of the region. This wine is primarily made from Sangiovese grapes, with the addition of other local varieties, adhering to the strict quality standards of the designation.
The Chianti Classico DOCG from Lilliano boasts a deep ruby red color, preluding the complex and enticing notes that develop on the nose and palate. Among the aromas, sensations of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums emerge, enriched by nuances of violet and sweet spices, typical of aging in wood. On the palate, the structure is robust yet harmonious, with a lively freshness balanced by soft tannins and a remarkable taste persistence, inviting another sip.
The ideal pairing for this Chianti Classico includes Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, game, and aged cheeses. It is also suitable as the star of a tasting evening, where it can be savored slowly to appreciate all its nuances.
To fully enjoy its qualities, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 16-18°C, after letting it breathe for a few minutes. Its longevity also allows for cellaring for several years, during which the wine will continue to evolve, developing even greater complexity.
In conclusion, the Chianti Classico DOCG from Lilliano is an excellent example of how tradition and care in winemaking can converge in a glass of wine, offering a rich and memorable tasting experience.
