Description
This wine is a dream come true. My family had wished for a wine from the Tenuta Perano for years, and together we chose the Rialzi vineyard, which rises above the others on three natural steps, characteristic of the area. A Gran Selezione which, as the name suggests, reminds me of our continual commitment to excellence every day.
