Tenuta Perano Riserva - FRESCOBALDI 750ml x 1 bottle

To talk about Tenuta Perano Riserva, one must first start with the vineyards. This is because the altitude, sun exposure, and slope dictate the expressive quality and elegance of the grapes. Tenuta Perano Riserva originates from vineyards located at an altitude of 500-600m in the hills of Gaiole in Chianti. Facing southwest, the amphitheater-shaped vineyards receive ample sunlight, naturally collecting solar heat and light. The combination of these favorable elements—altitude, abundant sunshine, shape, and slope—allows the Sangiovese grown at Tenuta Perano to express its rich character and elegance to the fullest. This wine is born from meticulous hand-selection of grapes and 24 months of aging in Slavonian oak barrels.

Classification: Chianti Classico DOCG

Grape Varieties: Sangiovese 95%, Merlot 5%

Tasting: A brilliant, beautiful deep ruby color. The bouquet is complex, with fruity aromas of sour cherry, blueberry, raspberry, and mulberry, alongside lovely floral notes of violet and wild rose. It also possesses wonderful spice notes like licorice and clove, and a toasted aroma developed from barrel aging. On the palate, the balance between acidity and alcohol is superb, and the tannins, while firm, are smooth.

Winemaking: After hand-harvesting, the grapes are carefully selected and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Frequent cap management extracts sufficient polyphenols to form the distinctive color and structure characteristic of Chianti Classico. Aging for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels creates the deep structure of this wine.

Pairing: Pasta, all meat dishes, aged cheese
