Description:
WINE:
"Located in the heart of the Chianti Colli Fiorentini, the estate is run by Diletta Malenchini together with agronomist and oenologist Stefano Porcinai. Of the 70 hectares of property that surround the Villa Medicea di Lilliano, 17 hectares are cultivated with vineyards and 42 with olive trees. The estate is managed with high respect for the environment, by applying methods of reduction of treatments and fertilizers. The types of vines cultivated are Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. " -Winery
VINIFICATION:
"This wine is a blend composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Sangiovese (20%) from a vineyard of about 20 years of age. Grapes were fermented separately in concrete tanks vitrified at a temperature of 28 - 30 ðc. The maceration time was quite long, 18 days. During this period were carried out 2 replacements per day alternating with some delestage."
"Matured separately the Sangiovese was in oak barrels for 12 months, and the Cabernet Sauvignon for a period of 18 months. After bottling, the wine has undergone 6 months of aging in bottle." -Winemaker's Notes
WINERY:
"The Malenchini family, owner of the Estate for more than two centuries, with Diletta at the helm, coordinating all the operations in the vineyards and oliveyards. Great attention is given to the safeguarding of the territory and respect for the environment. Of all the wines, the one that was more convincing to us is the Bruzzico, a blend of Cabernet and Sangiovese, with a great aromatic structure, ranging from fruity to spicy elements, with some insert of external notes, such as tobacco. In the mouth is sapid, tasty, rich, with firm and diffused tannins, for a enjoyable persistency in the finish." -Vini d'Italia (from winery's website)
