In terms of tasting, Lilliano's Chianti Classico Riserva displays an intense ruby red color that turns garnet with aging.

On the palate, the wine is robust yet harmonious, with a well-balanced tannic structure that endows it with longevity and the ability to gracefully evolve over time.

Regarding the service, the Chianti Classico Riserva pairs magnificently with Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, game, and aged cheeses. It is advisable to serve it at a temperature of 18-20°C and to open the bottle a few hours before consumption to allow the wine to best express its qualities.

In conclusion, this Chianti Classico Riserva is a true gem for wine lovers who are looking for a red wine capable of offering a rich and deeply rooted taste experience in Italian wine culture. A wine that fully celebrates the essence of its territory.
