Chianti Classico DOCG “Tenuta Perano” 2019 – Frescobaldi

The grapes to produce Chianti Classico “Tenuta Perano” Frescobaldi were harvested at optimum maturity and were vinified maintaining the maximum respect for the purity of fruit. Chianti Classico “Tenuta Perano” Frescobaldi  was aged for 24 months in a combination of stainless steel and oak barriques.

The grapes are grown on the steep hillsides of Gaiole with a gradient of 15 to 20 degrees, up to 500 metres above sea level. The vines are planted with a southern exposure, in an amphitheatre shaped vineyard which helps to maximise the exposure to the sun and concentrates the heat onto the vines. The topography and altitude help to keep the vines ventilated with the Tramontana wind which blows from the north during the night, and daytime breezes approaching from the south. The climate provides warm, dry summers with marked temperature differences in September, which helps to extend the ripening period and concentrate the fruit flavours, while retaining balancing acidity. The soil is notable for its rich stone content and is free draining.
