The Perano estate is located in the heart of Chianti classico in Gaiole and enjoys exceptional climate and soil.
The vineyards are located 500 meters above sea level, well above the altitude common for red variety grapes, especially Sangiovese with its late maturation phase. The combination of elevation, exposure, and the shape and slope of the vineyards offers and extraordinarily unique quality setting that results in intensely fruity aromas and a great tannic structure rife with elegance.
Tenuta Perano 2015 is a brilliant purple wine with a floral nose dominated by violet and rosehip aromas. Blackcurrant fruity notes lead into marked spiced highlights of black pepper and nutmeg followed by underbrush and humus. The wine is fresh, complex and rich to the palate. The tannin structure is rich and dense as appropriate for the most authentic Sangiovese.
Made in a modern style, this is a blend of 95% Sangiovese, Merlot. A solid vintage thats really floral and attractive from the outset, primarily displaying aromas of red plums, blackcurrants and black cherries. The palate is very linear and focused with tight tannins and refreshing acidity, carrying this through to a refined finish.
A wine that expresses all the bold character of a Sangiovese cultivated on drained soils. Its rich yet clear ruby-red colour, with garnet nuances, conveys its body immediately, which is reinforced by its complex bouquet. On the nose, the predominant scents of fruit, such as black currant and blueberry, and of spicy notes of black pepper give way to tertiary toasted notes of coffee bean and tobacco.
