Tasting Notes: This vibrant ruby-red Chianti Classico opens with an expressive bouquet of fresh cherries, raspberries, and pomegranate juice, accented by delicate floral notes of violet and geranium. On the palate, the wine is lively and savory, offering a succulent mouthfeel supported by supple, sweet tannins. The finish is remarkably long and bright, carrying subtle spicy undertones from its brief maturation in Slavonian oak barrels.
Estate History: The Antinori family has been involved in winemaking for over six hundred years, since Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild in 1385. The Pèppoli estate itself was founded in 1985 to mark the 600th anniversary of the family business and is located just five kilometers from the historic Villa Antinori. The vineyards are situated in a unique microclimate within a natural amphitheater, where the mineral-rich soils and ideal sun exposure produce a wine known for its freshness and fruit-forward character.
