Chianti Classico DOCG - Tenuta Perano - Frescobaldi

With the Frescobaldi Chianti Classico, a first-class red wine enters the glass. It presents a wonderfully dense, ruby-red color. When swirling it to aerate, this red wine reveals a high density and fullness, which is evident in the clear church-window-like reflections at the glass rim. The bouquet of this red wine from Tuscany enchants with aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, and mulberry. As we further explore the aromatic profile, roasted hazelnuts, cinnamon, and cocoa beans are added.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was brought to the bottle with 3.2 grams of residual sugar. As expected from a wine in the premium and estate segment, this Italian impresses with a delicate balance despite its dryness. Aroma doesn't necessarily require much residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully dense. Its pronounced fruit acidity makes the Chianti Classico exceptionally fresh and lively tasting. In the finish, this youthful wine from the Tuscany wine region impresses with remarkable length. Once again, hints of mulberry and blueberry are noticeable.

Vinification of the Frescobaldi Chianti Classico

This red wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, Sangiovese. Only the finest grape material was used for this wonderfully robust pure varietal wine from Frescobaldi. The Chianti Classico is a thoroughly Old World wine, as it exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. A significant influence on the development of the grapes is that Sangiovese thrives under a warm climate. This is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a higher alcohol content. The grapes for this Italian red wine are harvested exclusively by hand after ensuring optimal ripeness. Immediately after harvest, the grapes are transported to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. Following fermentation, the wine matures for 24 months in oak barriques.

Serving recommendation for the Frescobaldi Chianti Classico

This Italian red wine should be enjoyed best at a temperature of 15 - 18°C. It pairs perfectly as an accompanying wine with pasta and roast sausage meatballs, leek tortillas, or stuffed peppers.
