Production technique: The grapes that give rise to the Reserve come from the best vineyards of the Tenuta di Lilliano, carefully selected by hand during the harvest.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small steel and cement tanks with temperature control, and at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine is aged in large French oak barrels for 14-15 months. At the end of this period, at least 6 months of bottle aging follow.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Color: bright ruby red with a tendency to light garnet shades during aging.
Bouquet: very intense with a predominant floral note, in particular of violet, typical of the Chianti Sangiovese of Castellina in Chianti.
Taste: the excellent relationship between structure, tannin and gustatory freshness immediately emerges with the tasting. Good acidity; which prolongs the drink and enhances the flavor.
Pairings: The wine lends itself very well to long aging, and perfectly accompanies red meats, especially roasted and stewed game.
