About Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano 2018 Chianti Classico
Frescobaldi's property in Chianti Classico Tenuta Perano is located on the hills of Gaiole in Chianti with vineyards 1500 feet above sea level. The south, southwestern exposure and the amphitheater-shaped layout magnifies the exposure to the sun and concentrates the heat from it. The combination of elevation, exposure, and the shape and slope of the vineyards offer an extraordinarily unique quality setting that results in brilliant purple wines possessed of intensely fruity aromas and a great tannic structure rife with elegance.
Once harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature. Maceration on the skins with frequent pumping over allowed for perfect extraction of the polyphenolic substances, providing just the right color intensity and typical structure. The wine was then partially aged in wood casks, delicately enriching the bouquet. The wine was released after an additional ageing period in the bottle.
Wine Spectator scored this 91 points saying "Focused like a laser, this red evokes cherry, blackberry and orange peel flavors, shaded by iron, sanguine and wild thyme notes. Chalky tannins line the finish."
