Marchesi de'Frescobaldi Description
93 Points James Suckling
Aromas of mixed forest berries and lovely herbal notes, such as anise, licorice and sage. Medium-bodied with a nice balance of fruit, lightly firm yet silky tannin and bright, citrusy acidity. Tight, focused finish with good length.
90 Points Jeb Dunnuck
A deep but transparent ruby/magenta, the 2020 Chianti Classico is fruity and primary, with aromas of mixed berries, licorice candy, olive, and wet stones. Medium-bodied and savory, it has plush, ripe tannins, and although it's not pronounced, it retains good freshness and has a clean finish, with a lovely texture throughout. It is a very charming wine, though it has very well-detailed underpinnings with a mineral-tinged finish to enjoy over the next few years. I liked it quite a lot.
Producer Notes
Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico 2020 has a wonderful clear red color. On the nose it has floral notes of violets combined with hints of red fruits, such as raspberry and cherry, not least the hints of wild berries such as blackberry. Also interesting is the spiciness, reminiscent of cloves and some peppery notes. On the palate, the freshness combined with the minerality is simply stunning. Harmonious, dry and savory. The tannin is notable.
