Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 14% vol. 0.75 l

The Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 14% is a characterful red wine from Tuscany, produced at Tenuta Perano in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of around 500 metres above sea level and benefit from their south-south-west exposure and their natural, amphitheatre-shaped layout, which allows for optimal absorption of sunlight and warmth. For the 2023 vintage, Frescobaldi has opted for Sangiovese and complementary grape varieties. The grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. During maceration, careful pumping over ensures controlled extraction of polyphenols, thereby creating the characteristic structure of this Chianti Classico DOCG.

Following vinification, the Tenuta Perano 2023 matures for a total of 12 months in barriques and stainless-steel tanks, with the partial ageing in wood adding further complexity. This is followed by a further ageing period in the bottle before the wine is released onto the market. The 2023 vintage in the high-altitude vineyards was characterised by a cool, wet winter, a mild spring and a warm, though not excessively hot, summer. The good night-time ventilation in the vineyards helped to ensure the grapes ripened evenly. With an alcohol content of 14% in the 0.75-litre bottle, this Frescobaldi Chianti Classico 2023 combines traditional Sangiovese character with the distinctive high-altitude terroir of Tenuta Perano, making it ideal for both sophisticated meals and special occasions.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano 2023 displays a brilliant ruby red colour. On the nose, sour cherries and red and dark berries take centre stage, accompanied by elegant floral notes and a subtle spiciness reminiscent of black pepper and cloves. On the palate, this Chianti Classico is round and fresh, with a clearly defined tannin structure that gains further finesse as it matures. The finish is harmonious, spicy and pleasantly lingering.

The Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico DOCG 2023 pairs superbly with meat dishes and medium- to long-aged cheeses. Particularly well-suited pairings include tagliatelle with a hearty ragù, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised beef or lamb, and Pecorino from Tuscany. A serving temperature of around 16–18 °C brings out the wine’s structure and freshness in a balanced way; if desired, this young vintage can be allowed to breathe a little before serving. This makes Frescobaldi’s Tuscan red wine particularly suitable for Italian menus, festive dinners and convivial moments of indulgence.
