Description

Experience the soul of Tuscany with the Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico Riserva 2020, a masterful expression of the Sangiovese grape crafted by the legendary Marchesi Frescobaldi family. This wine originates from the unique 'natural amphitheatre' vineyards of Gaiole in Chianti, where high altitudes and ideal sun exposure create an environment perfect for achieving both physiological ripeness and elegant, vibrant acidity. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant, deep ruby red color, inviting you into a complex bouquet dominated by floral notes of violets, followed by rich aromas of dark cherries, wild berries, and a subtle, sophisticated hint of tobacco and spice from its 24-month maturation in Slovenian oak barrels. On the palate, this Riserva is perfectly structured, balancing firm, refined tannins with a refreshing minerality that makes it exceptionally drinkable yet capable of significant aging. It is a harmonious and savory wine that captures the rustic charm of the Chianti region while maintaining the polished excellence expected from a Frescobaldi estate. This wine is an outstanding companion to traditional Italian cuisine; it pairs magnificently with hearty meat dishes, such as slow-cooked Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù, or roasted lamb. For a more casual yet equally delicious pairing, try it with mature Pecorino Toscano cheese or even simple, high-quality grilled vegetables seasoned with Tuscan olive oil. Whether you are building your cellar for the next decade or looking for the perfect centerpiece for your next dinner party, the Tenuta Perano Riserva 2020 offers an authentic, high-quality experience that celebrates the heritage and passion of Italian winemaking.

Your Notes

A fantastic Sangiovese! Vibrant cherry and spice with elegant structure. Truly exceptional value for the quality—a must-have with wild boar ragù. It punches well above its weight.
