WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2022 has a beautiful clear ruby red color. The bouquet is pleasantly fruity with notes reminiscent of berries, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry plus a delicate hint of sour cherry. The elegant floral notes reveal themselves after some time accompanied by a spiciness with hints that recall cloves and black pepper. The tannic structure is both dense and velvety, with a beautiful harmony between aroma and flavor. An extremely balanced and
delicate wine with are markably wonderful freshness and flavor.
TASTING NOTES:
This is structured and linear, with polished and refined tannins that run the length of the wine. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture and a constant finish. Shows drive and focus. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Chianti Classico is terrific. Bold, juicy and expressive, the 2022 packs a pretty serious punch. A rush of dark cherry, blood orange, cinnamon, cedar and tobacco opens first, building intensity as the wine shows off its mid-palate presence and overall stature. This is a fine showing from Perano.
- Vinous, 92 pts.
Faithfully following Chianti Classico’s three-tiered hierarchy, Tenuta Perano proposes three bottlings in diminishing quantities. The annata comes from a large, southwest-facing amphitheatre. The sunny, open exposure is counterbalanced by the cool 500-metre altitude. Polished and sophisticated aromas of vanillin, cherry and tobacco lead. A satisfyingly expansive palate is judicious in concentration. Glossy red berries are matched by juicy acid and fine framing tannins, and subtle oak nuances are tucked in discreetly. All very smartly assembled.
