Vinification and ageing: The story of this wine begins, first and foremost, in the vineyard, where the altitude, exposure and slope contribute to the elegance and expressiveness of the grapes. Once picked by hand and meticulously selected, these were fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The frequent breaking of the cap ensured perfect polyphenolic extraction, resulting in a colour and structure typical of a Chianti Classico Riserva wine. The extended period spent further 24 months ageing in wooden containers contributed to the structural intensity of this wine, further improved by the subsequent period spent in the bottle. After this, Tenuta Perano Riserva 2017 was ready for release.  

Floral nose dominated by violet and rosehip aromas. Blackcurrant fruity notes lead into marked spiced highlights of black pepper and nutmeg followed by underbrush and humus. The wine is fresh, complex and rich to the palate. The tannin structure is rich and dense as appropriate for the most authentic Sangiovese. The finish is persistent, harmonious and bequeaths pleasant memories of noble tobacco.
