The 2021 Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico is a splendid limpid shade of ruby red. On the nose it begins with fruity notes of berries and other red fruits such as cherries and plums. The floral aspects are very evident and as always dominated by strong hints of violet and wild rose. This gives way to the spicy aroma of Perano Chianti Classico with cloves and cardamom, and ends on afresh, balsamic note. On the palate it is mineral and rightly tannic, with asilky tannic texture, while the final taste is fresh and mineral. It has a beautiful olfactory taste response and along, intense aromatic persistence.

Cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors announce this rich, supple and bright red. The underlying structure is firm and well-integrated, lending finesse and focus overall, with fine length.

The 2021 Chianti Classico is a rich, boisterous wine. Juicy blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and a kiss of French oak all run through this generous, exuberant red from Perano. This is an especially bold, succulent style with plenty of Gaiole breadth.

Purchased by Frescobaldi in 2017, the Perano estate is in the northern sector of Gaiole with vineyards between 400 and 600 metres. With a hefty percentage of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the blend is a bit of a throwback for Chianti Classico. Nevertheless, it's a solid wine. The nose is oak-led with roasted coffee and clove atop cherry and black currants. Tinged with mineral and chocolate, the palate is sophisticated, concentrated and tight, intersected by crisp acidity. It has has firm, tactile tannins and the stuffing for ageing over the next seven to eight years.
