Lilliano Wine Cellar Tour and Dinner Evening...July 6th

Each week Lilliano hosts a wine cellar tour and dinner evening, bringing together the guests staying at the various farmhouses of Tenuta di Lilliano agriturismo.

                            One of the first bottles of Chianti producedby the current ownership. The bottling and sale of wines was begun in 1958 by princess Eleonora Ruspoli Berlingieri , whose family bought the estate in 1920. Giulio and Pietro Ruspoli are the current owners.

The first records of Borgo di Lilliano date back to the middle ages. At that time it was a fortified complex.  An impressive construction of the farmhouse dominates the village.While retaining the medieval formation which can be seen in the topography, the cellars and enclosure walls, the architecture developed gradually through a series of styles to assume its current eighteenth century appearance.
