Gran Selezione

The three-hectare Rialzi vineyard takes its names from the terraced rows that tilt to the southwest. On calcareous Alberese soil at almost 550 metres above sea level, it is typically the last of Perano’s parcels to be picked – in mid-October. Refined in 100% new barriques, this brings together toasty cedar with mint, violet and a soupçon of chocolate. Sweet wild berries flesh out the palate, while the tannins are long, firm and amplified by the framing, sophisticated wood. Neatly packaged, genteel and approachable.
