Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico DOCG 2021 is now available to wine lovers in the international marketplace
GAIOLE IN CHIANTI, Tuscany, Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The 2021 vintage is fully ready to be enjoyed, and its ruby-red appearance, pronounced, fruit-rich aromas, and elegant, silky tannins make it a true standout. It is a wine with a carefully-honed character made with fruit from an extraordinary growing year and unparalleled terroir, finally put together in the cellar.
Chianti Classico Tenuta Perano is grown on the hillsides of Gaiole in the heart of Chianti Classico, with vineyards lying at an elevation of 500 meters. Their south-southwest exposure and natural conch-shaped site give them intense sunlight and help concentrate the sun's warmth. This combination of height, exposure, layout, and slope constitute a truly unique quality matrix, endowing the wines with its bright purple appearance, intensely fruity aromas, and majestic tannin structure.
Overall, favorable weather marked the 2021 growing year, with a mild winter followed by a likewise temperate spring, which encouraged optimal vine development. Credit for this outstanding vintage goes to a hot summer punctuated by beneficial light rains in late August, contributing to a consistent, gradual ripening process that in turn gifted the wine its emphatic aromas and velvety tannins.
The Sangiovese grapes were harvested by hand, with a modest admixture of complementary red varieties, and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel fermenters. Subsequent maceration on the skins and pump overs brought optimal extraction of polyphenols, responsible for this wine's intense color and firm structure. Part of the wine then matured in oak, developing delicate tertiary nuances. Finally, the wine underwent further bottle aging.
Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2021 has a brilliant ruby red appearance. The nose initially releases fruit-rich notes of wild berry fruit, cherry, and plum, alongside pronounced floral essences of sweet violets and wild rose, which then segue into spicy impressions of clove and cardamom to finally culminate in a crisp burst of pungent balsam. In the mouth, one encounters an earthy minerality and judicious, silky tannins, then a palate that admirably mirrors the aromas encountered on the nose. An appealing vein of crisp minerality infuses a finish whose aromatic intensity seems to linger without end.
GRAPES: Sangiovese and complementary varieties
MATURATION: 12 months in oak barriques and steel, and further bottle aging
AVAILABLE SIZES: 750ml and 1.5 liter magnum
