The Marchesi Antinori family, with a winemaking heritage spanning over six centuries, presents Peppoli, their esteemed Chianti Classico DOCG. Sourced from the Peppoli estate in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone, this wine embodies the quintessential expression of Sangiovese from this historic Tuscan appellation. The vineyards, characterized by their Galestro and Alberese soils, benefit from optimal sun exposure and elevation, contributing to the grape's aromatic complexity and structural integrity. The 2022 vintage, known for its balanced growing conditions, has yielded a wine of remarkable freshness and clarity. Fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel, followed by a period of maturation in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing the wine to develop its characteristic finesse without overpowering oak influence. This 37.5cl half bottle offers an ideal format for individual enjoyment or for exploring the nuances of a classic Chianti Classico.
Tasting notes
The 2022 Peppoli Chianti Classico presents a vibrant ruby hue. On the nose, it offers an aromatic profile of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and subtle floral notes of violet, underpinned by a delicate hint of spice and earthy minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, characterized by a lively acidity and fine-grained tannins that provide structure and length. Flavours of red fruit persist, complemented by nuances of liquorice and a touch of balsamic. The finish is clean, persistent, and distinctly Tuscan, inviting further contemplation.
