The Chianti Classico Tenuta Perano was born on the hills of Gaiole in Chianti, from vineyards located 500 meters above sea level.
The south-southwest exposure and above all the amphitheater shape of the vineyards favor sunlight and concentrate the
heat. The combination of altitude, exposure, configuration and slope of the vineyards represent a qualitative uniqueness
extraordinary, giving the wines a bright purple color, intense fruity aromas and great tannic structure, permeated
of an elegant vibration.
Climate trend
Winter 2021 was characterized by a climate that was not too harsh, but with frosts and precipitation. The spring thaw e
the increase in temperatures allowed the vines to germinate in mid-April with the Sangiovese thus starting their
vegetative cycle. Spring, with mild temperatures, allowed the leaf surface to develop well with a wall
very extensive and complete vegetative growth. The vines flowered at the beginning of June with sunny days and mild temperatures
they favored a good fruit set. Subsequently, veraison took place a few days early, at the beginning of
August thanks to optimal hot conditions during the day, but mitigated by good ventilation at night. Most of
credit for the extraordinary vintage should in any case be attributed to the summer, which was particularly hot as well as being particularly hot
characterized by two light rains at the end of August. The harvest which began in mid-September was characterized by
sunny days and normal temperatures characterized the 2021 vintage, making it extraordinary for
intensity of aromas and richness of tannins which the two summer rains have made soft and velvety.

Winemaking and maturation
Once harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. There
maceration on the skins with controlled and careful pumping over allowed perfect extraction of the substances
polyphenolics, capable of giving the right color intensity and typical structure. Subsequently the wine was matured
partly in wood, delicately enriching the olfactory component with tertiary scents. Only after a further
period in the bottle Tenuta Perano was ready to enter the scene.
Tasting notes
Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2021 presents itself with a splendid clear ruby red color. By smell
It begins with fruity notes of berries and other red fruits such as cherries and plums. The floral aspects are motion
evident and as always dominated by strong hints of violet and wild rose. Following the spicy imprint of
Classic Chianti pear with cloves and cardamom, the olfactory finish is fresh and balsamic. Entry into the mouth
mineral and rightly tannic, with a cheese-like texture, freshness and minerality impose themselves in the tasting finish.
Beautiful taste-olfactory correspondence and long, intense aromatic persistence.
