Domaine Roy & Fils Iron Filbert Vineyard Chardonnay 2024

Willamette Valley

April 30, 2026 - Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico is crafted from vineyards perched 1640 feet above sea level in Gaiole, benefiting from optimal sun exposure and a unique amphitheatre layout. This distinctive terroir imparts a brilliant purplish hue, intense fruity aromas, and exceptional tannic structure to the wine, which exhibits an elegant vibrancy. The hand-harvested grapes undergo fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, with maceration and pump-overs for maximum polyphenol extraction. Maturation in oak barriques and bottle-aging further refine the wine's complexity and depth.
