The 2018 Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico Riserva is made with Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, and spent 24 months in oak barrels. We tried the 2016 classic final yr, and although there was a lot to suggest it, the wine was a bit austere and felt prefer it wanted extra getting old to indicate its full potential. At the moment we are attempting the 2018 classic. Let’s see the way it compares.
The nostril right here is pretty easy however inviting, providing daring black cherry and cola notes together with mild oak. After a bit of time within the glass, some pomegranate will also be picked up. The palate is analogous however a contact extra reserved, showing alongside excessive acidity and pronounced woody tannins, which give the wine a really dry end. As with the 2016, this wine may most likely profit from extra time within the bottle, however it’s exhibiting fairly effectively now. Not overly complicated however pleasant, this Chianti Classico Riserva would pair brilliantly with pasta Bolognese.
