Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2020 has a wonderful clear red colour. On the nose it has floral notes of violets combined with hints of red fruits, such as raspberry and cherry, not least the hints of wild berries such as blackberry. Also interesting is the spiciness, reminiscent of cloves and some peppery notes. On the palate, the freshness combined with the minerality is simply stunning. Harmonious, dry and savoury. The tannin is notable.

Once harvested by hand, the grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks at acontrolled temperature. The maceration on the skins with controlled and careful pumping over, has allowed a perfect extraction of the polyphenolic substances, able to give the right colour intensity and the typical structure. The wine was then aged separately in wood, delicately enriching the olfactory component with tertiary scents. Only after afurther period in the bottle was Tenuta Perano ready to enter the scene.

The first months of the year presented little rainfall and were mild. In March, however, the rainfall was quite significant accompanied by normal temperatures, with the exception of the last period in which there was asharp decline in temperatures. Spring continued with sunny days and temperatures, even slightly above average. In the second part of May we began to witness the flowering which had an optimal course. June again reported above average rainfall which then turned into a wonderful summer with high temperatures. The absence of rain during the harvesting period made it possible to bring healthy and perfectly ripe grapes to the cellar.

The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of the most significant wine producers in Italy with nine estates—and roughly 2 500 acres—in Tuscany. The family has been growing wine since the late 19th century when they became the first in Tuscany to import and plant French vine cuttings. Because they have been producing wines for more than 700 years to experience Frescobaldi is to glimpse the history of Florence from the Middle Ages to the present day.
