Tenuta di Lilliano is owned and farmed by the Ruspoli
Family. This noble family has a rich history dating back to the Renaissance.
The Tenuta is co-owned by brothers
Giulio and Pietro Ruspoli, and managed since 1989 by Giulio. This storied
estate is located in the epicenter of the Chianti Classico region, in the town
of Castellina in Chianti.
The 3 single vineyards average 300 meters above sea
level. Sangiovese is the principle varietal
planted, with a small amount of other indigenous and international grapes. The
vineyards of 40 hectares are planted in marly limestone, rich with mineral and
stones. Their Sangiovese is the natural result of an amalgamation of a unique
microclimate, soils and vineyard positioning.
This exceptional terroir encourages wines of elegance
and typicity, which evolve in the bottle
and will express themselves, for years
to come.

Paolo E Noemia D'amico Winery was founded in 1985 based on the owners' mutual life experience of elegance and luxury. Paolo was surrounded by wine since an early age while Noemia's family brought their Portuguese wine tradition to Brazil. Once married, the pair took their shared passion for wine to begin this beautiful winery. The Estate is in Lazio, just north of Rome, on a ancient volcanic landscape of Vaiano. The local tufo stones influence the wines and give it a pronounced mineral quality and acidity.
