Colli della Toscana Centrale - Anagallis IGT - Lilliano 2016
VAT incl.
We have in this bottle, a mix of the best grapes that derive from the Lilliano vineyards, which in this way give rise to the Anagallis. After the harvest the alcoholic fermentation takes place in small steel tanks, and at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 14 months, and at the end of this for another period it follows at least 6 months of refinement in the bottle.
It has a very intense, almost impenetrable deep red color that looks black. Characteristic that already at the sight evokes the intensity of this wine. Notes of red berry fruit, spices and smoky typical of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
In the glass it therefore brings out all its power and taste, with a really long persistence on the palate but which nevertheless does not tire thanks to the good balance of acidity.

The Cellar and the Estate: Lilliano
An ancient story whose first news of Village of Lilliano they date back to the Middle Ages. At that time it was a fortified complex including the Church of Santa Cristina, characteristic for its single large nave (unusual for the parish churches of Chianti). While maintaining the medieval layout evident in the topography, in the cellars and in the surrounding walls, the architecture has passed, in various stages, to its current nineteenth-century appearance. The bottling and marketing of wines was started in 1958 by Princess Eleonora Ruspoli Berlingieri, whose family bought the estate in 1920. From that moment on, a careful study in search of perfection began. The estate now offers important vintage wines that have been awarded and re-awarded over the years.Official Awards
