Description
Tenuta Perano is an immaculate estate located in Gaiole, in the heart of the Chianti Classico region and is the latest addition to the collection of estates owned by the Frescobaldi family. It covers 250 hectares, of which 52 are planted with vines. The vineyard is planted on steep slopes and is situated on a natural amphitheatre profile, which captures and amplifies the sunlight onto the vines. This unique setting combines elevation, exposure and natural topography to produce wines with intense fruit-driven aromas and a great tannic structure, which are enveloped in elegance. Gambero Rosso awarded Frescobaldi with the prestigious ‘Tre Bicchieri Winery of the Year Award 2020’, in recognition of its uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation.
Meticulous selection took place, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Maceration on the skins allowed excellent polyphenolic extraction prior to gentle pressing. The young wine was aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels, followed by further bottle ageing in the cellar, prior to release.
