Tenuta Perano winery
Frescobaldi s (Perano) story is strictly connected with the history of Tuscany. At the high point of medieval Florence, the Frescobaldi's spread their influence as bankers, becoming patrons of major works in Florence, such as Santa Trinita bridge and the Basilica of Santo Spirito. From Tenuta Castiglioni, where the family s 700 years of wine-growing history began, to CastelGiocondo on the Montalcino hills, to the timeless Castello Nipozzano. From the hidden gem of Castello Pomino, up to Tenuta Ammiraglia s new horizons overlooking the sea, to Tenuta Perano a natural amphitheater in the heart of Chianti Classico, ending with Remole, that expresses all the character of Tuscany. Tenuta Perano consists of 250 hectares of which 52 are in the Chianti Classico area, mainly in the municipality of Gaiole in Chianti. The exposure is south-west and the amphitheater layout of the vineyards at 500 meters above sea level is magnificent. Therefore, sun and heat, but also thermal excursions make the wines rich in aroma, with the coveted tension on the palate that distinguishes purebred wines. The soils are characterized by their high skeleton content and steep slopes (15-20%) which enhance their drainage capacity. The company has a large cellar, recently built, suitable for both fermentation and aging, which will be open to visits, tastings, and hospitality activities.
