Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico Rialzi Gran Selezione 2016 750ml

Bright ruby colour with a delicate garnet rim. Subdued yet precise nose of masterfully carved out notes of raspberry and black cherry, inviting. Extremely juicy, bags of crunchy cherry, supported by finely-knit tannin, lingering for quite some time.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Mature dark-skinned fruit, French oak, coconut and blue-flower aromas are front and center on this 100% Sangiovese. On the linear palate, vanilla, espresso and licorice notes accent a core of black cherry and blackberry extract. Assertive, close-grained tannins provide the framework. It's still very much on its oak and needs time to fully integrate. Drink 2024–2031.
