Pèppoli Chianti Classico DOCG

The Pèppoli Chianti Classico embodies what Sangiovese from the heart of Tuscany does best: fruity freshness with enough structure to stand up at the table.

The Antinori winery has cultivated the Pèppoli estate in the Chianti Classico region between Florence and Siena since the 1980s. The Antinori family is one of Italy's oldest winemaking dynasties – over 600 years of continuity, which is evident in the consistency of their wines. Pèppoli is their accessible entry into the Classico zone, vinified for drinking pleasure and everyday enjoyment.

In the glass, it displays a clear ruby ​​red color with violet reflections. The nose offers ripe sour cherry and strawberry, along with a hint of violet and subtle toasty aromas. The aging – nine months in Slavonian oak – remains in the background: the tannins are soft and rounded, the acidity typical of Sangiovese, enlivening the finish without being harsh.

Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Best enjoyed now, drinking window until 2027. Pairs well with pasta al ragù, wood-fired pizza, grilled lamb, or a mature Pecorino Toscano.
