Chianti Classico 2021

Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico is crafted from vineyards perched 1640 feet above sea level in Gaiole, benefiting from optimal sun exposure and a unique amphitheatre layout. This distinctive terroir imparts a brilliant purplish hue, intense fruity aromas, and exceptional tannic structure to the wine, which exhibits an elegant vibrancy. The hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, with maceration and pump-overs for maximum polyphenol extraction. Maturation in oak barriques and bottle-aging further refine the wine’s complexity and depth.

Once harvest, the grapes are vinified in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. Maceration on the skins with controlled and careful pumping over. the wine is then aged for 12 months between barriques and stainless steel.

The 2021 vintage began with a mild winter and favorable spring, leading to healthy vine growth and early June flowering. A hot summer with cool nights and late-August rains nourished the grapes. Mid-September harvesting yielded wines with extraordinary aroma, rich tannins, and velvet smoothness.

Notes of berry and cherry aromas give way to a floral palate typical of Tenuta Perano. Its spiced aromas and fresh, balsamic finish have length and persistence.
