Chianti Classico DOCG 'Tenuta Perano' 2022 (750 ml.) Frescobaldi

THE WINE

Born from vineyards located at 500 meters s.l.m. in the hills of Gaiole in Chianti, this Chianti Classico 'Tenuta Perano' from Frescobaldi best expresses the elegance of altitude. The grapes, predominantly Sangiovese, ripen on soil rich in skeleton, which ensures excellent drainage and aromatic concentration. The manual harvest is followed by wine-making in stainless steel at controlled temperature, with skin maceration to extract aromas and structure. The aging takes place in oak barrels for about 12 months, followed by a resting period in the bottle. It is brilliant ruby red in appearance. The olfactory profile offers ripe red fruits, violet, black pepper, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is fresh, balanced, with fine tannins and a persistent finish. A Chianti Classico of great typicity, ideal with roasts, game, and aged cheeses.

THE ESTATE

No other Italian winery can boast the history, prestige, and vision of the Marchesi Frescobaldi. A Florentine family dedicated for thirty generations and for 700 years to the production of great wines, with the constant aim of being the most prestigious Tuscan producer. A reality that has always believed in respecting the territory, focuses on the excellence of its grapes, invests in communication and the professionalism of human resources, while never forgetting the respect for tradition and openness to research and experimentation. In 1855, the first in Tuscany, they planted cabernet sauvignon, merlot, pinot noir, and chardonnay at the Nipozzano and Pomino estates. In 1894, they built in Pomino, a location not far from Florence, the first Italian winery capable of utilizing natural gravity for transferring from the barrels and distinguished themselves, during the same period, for the introduction of the “specialized vineyard.” In 1989, they acquired the Castelgiocondo estate in Montalcino and in 1995 inaugurated the Tenuta Luce della Vite in Montalcino, which was joined in 2000 by the Tenuta Conti Attems in Friuli. Recent bright projects include the control of the Tenuta dell’Ornellaia in Bolgheri in 2005, and in 2011 the inauguration of the modern winery of Ammiraglia in Maremma. All wines labeled “Marchesi Frescobaldi” are born from passion, experience, skill, and love for a chosen territory, Tuscany, which has become the ideal cradle for wines of the highest quality. With a planted area that currently nearly reaches one thousand hectares, and an annual production that is around seven million bottles, from the Chianti area to that of Pomino, from Montalcino to Maremma, the perfect knowledge of the environment and the uniqueness of the terroirs guarantee constant quality and a distinctive personality of the wines, all - without exception - exceptional. Labels from the “Marchesi Frescobaldi” are elegant and harmonious, balanced and engaging, exciting and unique.
