Made from Sangiovese grapes grown on the hillsides of Chianti, this Gran Selezione is a true masterpiece and one of the finest expressions of the Chianti Classico territory.

On the palate, it’s full-bodied with notes of red fruit and a subtle hint of oak. Frescobaldi Tenuta Perano Rialzi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a must-try for anyone who appreciates the art of fine wine-making.

Tasting Notes

Made entirely from Sangiovese grapes, Rialzi is bold, highly elegant and vibrant but never overpowering. It has an intense, bright ruby-red colour. The bouquet is complex and well-balanced: berries, violet flowers and spices are the dominant aromas, followed by notes of toasted coffee beans and tobacco, further emphasising the rich structure of Sangiovese grapes.
