A unique estate, in one of the most suitable areas of the Chianti Classico, in the municipality of Gaiole. A natural amphitheater, ideal for capturing the light and heat of the sun. The vineyards are located 500 meters above sea level, an almost limit altitude for red varieties and in particular for Sangiovese which has a late ripening.
Chianti Classico Rialzi is a dream chased for years. From Tenuta Perano, strongly desired by the whole Frescobaldi family, the vineyard was chosen that rises from the others thanks to three characteristic natural steps. A Great Selection which, as the name implies, reminds us every day of the continuous commitment to excellence.
Tasting Notes
Intense and brilliant ruby red color. The bouquet is complex and harmonious: hints of berries, violets and spices are the pre-eminent descriptors; followed by toasted notes of coffee beans and tobacco which further strengthen the idea of a structured Sangiovese. On the palate it is marked by an incomparable richness and depth; its texture is dense, the soft and round tannins are perfectly integrated. Persistent and clear on the finish.
Pairings
Meat is the natural match, as well as game, both from fur and from feathers. Try it with the roasted guinea fowl.
