The 2018 vintage was a classic growing season in Tuscany, favouring balance and aromatic complexity over sheer power. At Tenuta Perano, the grapes are grown in a natural stone "amphitheatre" that traps heat during the day but remains cool at night. This Riserva, a blend of primarily Sangiovese with a touch of Merlot, showcases the sophisticated side of Gaiole—silky, perfumed, and brilliantly fresh.
