The hot and sunny summer, with refreshing rains August, allowed the grapes to ripen a balanced way, giving intense aromas and a pleasant tannic softness. The harvest, which began September 18th, revealed an extraordinary aromatic complexity and a unique tannic richness.

Subsequently, a 12-month maturation period barrique and steel enriched the wine with delicate tertiary scents. Only after a further period the bottle is Capienza Perano ready for international markets. Capienza Perano Chianti Tradizionale 2022 has an intense and clear ruby red color.
