Tasting notes
Tenuta Perano Riserva is a brilliant purple wine with afloral nose dominated by violet and rosehip aromas. Blackcurrant
fruity notes lead into marked spiced highlights of black pepper and nutmeg followed by underbrush and humus. The
wine is fresh, complex and rich to the palate. The tannin structure is rich and dense as appropriate for the most authentic
Sangiovese. The finish is persistent, harmonious and bequeaths pleasant memories of noble tobacco.

Wine pairing: Bisteccaalla Fiorentinaand game meats are the most traditional pairings, but the wine is also excellent with
well-aged cheeses.
