2015 Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico Riserva RP--92

Robert Parker: 92 Points
The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva is 95% Sangiovese with 5% Merlot aged in large oak casks for 24 months. Some 40,000 bottles were produced. The estate's base Chianti Classico is redolent of bright fruit and explosive cherry. However, this Riserva offers more definition, intensity and complexity. Beyond that bright primary fruit, the wine shows etched mineral notes that are focused and pristine in character. You also get a solid sense of this mid-weight wine's structure and the firm nature of the tannins.
