Tenuta Perano
Chianti Classico 2022
Chianti Classico DOCG
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.
Vineyard
Tenuta Perano’s 52 hectares of vineyards are planted in a natural amphitheater with steep slopes of stony soils in the Gaiole subzone of Chianti Classico. The vineyards rise as high as 500 meters above sea level.
Tasting Note
Notes of berry and cherry aromas give way to a floral palate typical of Tenuta Perano. Its spiced aromas and fresh, balsamic finish have length and persistence.
WINEMAKING
This wine ferments in stainless steel with frequent breaking of the cap for greater structure. It ages for 24 months in oak barrel followed by several months in bottle.
VINTAGE
The 2022 Chianti vintage began with a cool, dry winter and warm, early spring, followed by a hot summer that prompted some irrigation. Late July and early August rains relieved the drought, ensuring the harvest aligned with average timings. The harvest started in mid-September with international varieties, followed by Sangiovese. Although drought reduced yields, the resulting fruit was concentrated, promising high-quality wines. Despite challenges, the vintage shows great potential for depth and structure.

Reviews
Vinous - July 1, 2025 "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."
