Antinori Chianti Classico Docg Pèppoli 2021 - Antinori 0.75 lt

The Chianti Classico Pèppoli by Antinori was born from Sangiovese (90%), Merlot and Syrah (10%) grapes vinified separately in stainless steel. The original vineyards are located within the Tenuta Pèppoli which extends for 100 hectares (of which 50 are under vineyards), 5 kilometers from the prestigious Tenuta Tignanello, in the heart of the Chianti Classico area. The alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature between 26°C and 28°C with a maceration on the skins of approximately 7 days for the Sangiovese and 12-15 days for the other varieties. After blending, carried out after malolactic fermentation, the wine rested for approximately 9 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and, for a small part, in barriques and stainless steel tanks.
CHIANTI CLASSICO PÈPPOLI ANTINORI: TASTING
The Chianti Classico Pèppoli by Antinori shines in the glass with a ruby red color with purple reflections. On the nose it expresses floral hints of violet and pulpy aromas of morello cherry and red fruit combined with light balsamic notes and sweet spices. The sip is soft, enhanced by a smooth tannic texture that combines with a pleasant flavor and a docile trail of freshness. At the table it goes well with cured meats and semi-mature cheeses as well as tasty dishes based on red meat and game.

The Antinori Family has been dedicated to wine production for more than six hundred years: from when, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florentine Art of the Vinattieri. Throughout its long history, through 26 generations, the family has always managed this business directly with innovative and sometimes courageous choices but always maintaining respect for traditions and for the territory. Tradition, passion and intuition were the driving qualities that led the Antinori Marquises to establish themselves as one of the main Italian producers of high quality wines.
