The Chianti Gran Selezione DOCG Rialzi di Tenuta Perano, part of the illustrious Frescobaldi family, is born in the heart of the historic Chianti Classico region, where Sangiovese reigns supreme. This wine stands out for its structure and complexity, the result of careful selection of grapes grown in vineyards located at high altitudes, ensuring a perfect balance between acidity and ripening.

On the palate it is harmonious and persistent, revealing an elegant and complex character, perfect to accompany roasted meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses. A true ambassador of the Tuscan territory, Rialzi proudly expresses the refined soul of Chianti Classico Gran Selezione.
