What kind of wine is Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 'Tenuta Perano' 2021 Magnum - Frescobaldi (wooden box)

The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 'Tenuta Perano' 2021 Magnum - Frescobaldi is born in the heart of Chianti Classico, on an estate located on a hillside in Gaiole in Chianti, where the vineyards form a natural amphitheater. This particular configuration favors perfect sun exposure and an ideal microclimate for grape ripening. Produced mainly from Sangiovese, with a small percentage of complementary varieties typical of the denomination, this wine represents one of the most elegant and structured expressions of the Tuscan territory. The Magnum version, presented in a wooden box, enhances its collectible value and its ability to evolve over time.

Vintage details

The 2021 vintage stands out for its balanced climatic trend, with a warm but not excessive summer and good temperature excursions between day and night. These conditions favored a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, yielding a wine with an intense aromatic profile and great finesse. The grapes were selected manually, cluster by cluster, to ensure that only the best berries were destined for winemaking.

Vinification and aging

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to promote the balanced extraction of aromas and color. This is followed by a period of maceration on the skins of about three weeks, necessary to obtain a good tannic structure and aromatic complexity. The wine then matures for about 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels and subsequently rests in the bottle for several months before being released onto the market. This long aging gives the Riserva balance and roundness, making it perfect for enthusiasts and collectors.
