Vinification and ageing: The story of this wine begins in the vineyard, where the altitude, the exposure and the incline all contribute to the elegance and expressiveness of the grapes. After been carefully selected and harvested by hand, they were fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The "cap" that formed on the surface was broken frequently to ensure perfect polyphenolic extraction, creating the typical colour and structure of a Chianti Classico Riserva. The long maturation period in wood contributes significantly to the wine's structural depth, which is further refined by ageing in the bottle. At the end of this period, the 2021 Tenuta Perano Riserva was ready to make a stunning entrance. Organoleptic Notes: The Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico Riserva 2021 has a bright and intense shade of ruby red. The bouquet is complex and highly representative of its terroir. The initial aroma is floral, with typical notes of violet and dog rose, followed by an elegant red fruit scent reminiscent of sour cherry. Spicy, with hints of liquorice root and clove. The tertiary scent brings to mind tobacco leaf and roasted flavours. On the palate, the wine reveals a savoury character, with a wonderful tannic structure and freshness. The taste and scent are always remarkably well-matched.
