Pèppoli is produced by the Antinori family at their estate near the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The 2022 vintage is a classic blend of Sangiovese, with small amounts of Merlot and Syrah to enhance texture and aromatic lift. Fermented in stainless steel for purity, the wine was matured for 9 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and a small portion in barrique. The style balances freshness with structure, staying true to the vibrant, fruit-forward character of the Pèppoli estate.
Bouquet Bright and expressive with aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and violet. Hints of Mediterranean herbs, clove and soft leather provide subtle depth.
Palate Medium-bodied and lively, with juicy red fruit, fine tannins and a fresh acid line. Flavours of cherry, cranberry and spice flow into a gently savoury, dry finish with classic Sangiovese grip.
Food Pairing Ideal with tomato-based pasta, grilled lamb, mushroom risotto or chargrilled vegetables. Also great with pizza, cured meats or Pecorino cheese.
Cellaring Ready to drink now, but will continue to evolve gracefully through 2027. Best enjoyed slightly cool to highlight its brightness and structure.
Interesting Fact The Pèppoli vineyard is planted on ancient Pliocene marine soils, giving the wine its signature minerality and aromatic precision—classic Chianti character from one of Tuscany’s most historic families.
