Overview:
The Frescobaldi 2019 Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico is crafted from grapes grown at 500 meters above sea level in the renowned Chianti region, specifically in the hills of Gaiole in Chianti. The unique positioning of the vineyards, with their southern and southwestern exposure, combined with the amphitheatre-like shape, results in exceptional sun exposure and heat concentration, yielding a wine of remarkable quality. The combination of elevation, exposure, and slope offers a perfect environment for producing wines that boast radiant colors, intense fruity aromas, and a well-structured, elegant tannic profile.
