The Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2022 with 14% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle comes from the high-altitude vineyards of Tenuta Perano in Gaiole in Chianti, which lie at an altitude of around 500 metres. The south-south-west facing vineyards form a natural amphitheatre that ideally concentrates the sun and heat, creating an exceptionally harmonious microclimate. This special combination of altitude, slope, exposure and the amphitheatre-like structure results in a qualitative uniqueness that gives the wine its brilliant colour, intense fruit and precise tannin structure. Vinified from Sangiovese and complementary varieties, the Chianti Classico displays the typical elegance and depth of this historic origin.


The wine is first aged in stainless steel, followed by 12 months in barrique and steel, which perfectly balances structure, flavour and aromatic complexity. Careful maceration with controlled remontage enables optimal extraction of the polyphenolic ingredients and thus a precise colour and tannin structure. After additional bottle ageing, this vintage is particularly fine, fruity and elegant, supported by a clear, ruby red colour and an aromatic profile that combines intense berry fruit, floral nuances and spicy accents. A Chianti Classico full of character with depth, regional authenticity and long-lasting elegance.

Tasting Note

A clear ruby red colour in the glass. The nose reveals fruity notes of berries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and a delicate hint of sour cherry. After a short aeration, elegant floral notes are added, accompanied by clove, black pepper and fine spice. On the palate, the wine is balanced, dense and yet supple, supported by finely structured tannins, harmonious freshness and a precise, multi-layered flavour. The finish is elegant, balanced and long-lasting, accompanied by fruity depth and delicate spice.

The Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2022 is ideal with pasta with strong sauces, bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised beef, grilled lamb, game birds and Mediterranean dishes with herbs and tomatoes. It also harmonises well with mature pecorino, savoury antipasti and mushroom risotto. Served at 16-18 °C, it unfolds its full elegance and accompanies sophisticated dishes with a finely structured, long-lasting presence.
