Since 1830 the Malenchini family has called the beautiful Villa Medicea di Lilliano home. About 100 years have passed since the Malenchini started their historic journey as wine producers on this prosperous estate. The Villa, with its typical Medici appearance, has been finely restored and is still home to family members who, every day, welcome visitors who have traveled from all over the world to enjoy this jewel of Tuscany.

The estate, its vineyards and its olive groves

In the heart of the Chianti Colli Fiorentini (Florentine hills) and only a stone's throw from Florence, the Malenchini Estate extends for 173 acres around the Villa Medicea of Lilliano. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves this place full of history is home to the ancient cellars and the orciaia (where the olive oil is stored in terracotta jars) since 1830.

Today the Estate is in its eighth generation and Diletta Malenchini has been directly involved in its management for more than twenty years. Diletta’s passion for wine and respect for the land have created a bond that is constantly renewed, united by history and culture and without ever losing its traditional values.
This virtuous philosophy is upheld today by the company which follows the principles of organic farming, respecting biodiversity and nature.
