The beauty of estates in Tuscany: Tenuta Perano and Castello Nipozzano

The article considers a Tuscan estate visit as an encounter with landscape, wine and local food, emphasizing that the territory gives each property and its wines a distinct identity. Lamberto Frescobaldi argues that individual estates should be developed and managed according to their own vineyards and character.

Tenuta Perano occupies more than 250 hectares in the municipality of Gaiole, Province of Siena, at the heart of Chianti Classico. Its natural amphitheatre faces south-west and captures warmth and light. Elevations of approximately 400–500 metres, steep slopes, stone-rich soils and a continental climate create the conditions associated here with Sangiovese. The estate's principal labels are Rialzi, Tenuta Perano and Tenuta Perano Riserva. Visits may be complemented by dining at Osteria Perano.
