Rialzi Gran Selezione

2015 Chianti Classico Sangiovese

The Perano Rialzi Gran Selezione, a remarkable Sangiovese from the renowned Chianti Classico region, enchants with its deep red hue, showcasing the vibrant character of this elegant varietal. This vintage, crafted with meticulous care, offers a full-bodied experience that harmoniously balances high acidity, resulting in a bright and mouthwatering profile. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with luscious notes of ripe cherries and dark berries that intertwine beautifully with subtle undertones of earthiness and spice. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth to the wine, while a dry finish leaves a lasting impression. The Perano Rialzi Gran Selezione is not only a testament to the quality of Chianti Classico but also an exemplary representation of the Sangiovese grape, poised to elevate any dining experience.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
