Overview:
The Frescobaldi 2018 Tenuta Perano Riserva Chianti Classico is crafted from Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, grown in the prestigious Chianti Classico region at an altitude of 500 meters in Gaiole in Chianti. The natural amphitheater-shaped vineyards, with their south-western exposure, offer exceptional pedoclimatic conditions that allow Sangiovese to express itself with elegance and character. After a meticulous handpicking process, the wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months, resulting in a wine of great depth and finesse.
