In the heart of Chianti Classico, in a natural amphitheater facing southwest with exceptional pedoclimatic conditions for uniqueness and quality, comes this Chianti Classico Riserva. We are in Gaiole in Chianti, on the vineyards at an altitude of 500 m of Tenuta Perano, where Sangiovese finds one of its most elegant and rich expressions of personality. The result of careful manual selection in the vineyard, it is then aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months. Brilliant ruby red with violet hues. Its bouquet is complex and intense. Floral scents immediately pervade the nose, ranging from violets to dog rose; fruity notes are not slow to make their entrance, with hints reminiscent of black currant and blueberry. With time the emphasis is on tertiary notes recalling nutmeg and black pepper, but also cocoa powder. The balsamic sensation lends infinite elegance to the wine. In the mouth it surprises with its freshness, persistence and length. The tannic texture is dense as befits Sangiovese from the most vocated soils. The finish is reminiscent of noble tobacco and leather. The finish is long and harmonious.
