The first news on the village of Lilliano date back to the Middle Ages. In those days, it was a fortified complex comprising the Church of Saint Christine. It was owned by the Marquis of Tuscany, later by the Abbey of Poggibonzi and by the Hospital of Santa Maria Nuova of Florence. Back then, it was called Palace of Santa Maria Nuova in Ligliano. The complex has undergone sieges and destruction, it being the outpost in the wars between Siena and Florence. Its architecture has therefore passed through different stages to reach the actual nineteenth-century aspect, even though the medieval layout is still evident in the topography, cellars and surrounding walls. The wine bottling and marketing activity was started in 1958 by Princess Eleonora Ruspoli Berlingieri, whose family bought the estate in 1920. The present owners are Giulio and Pietro Ruspoli.
