Description
A refined and aromatically rich Chianti Classico by Antinori-Pèppoli
The estate
Tenuta Pèppoli was acquired by Marchesi Antinori in 1985, the year in which the family estate celebrated its 600th anniversary. Over the years, it has become an essential name among fine Tuscan wines.
Antinori-Pèppoli produces great Italian wines that are known for their pure and vibrant fruity expression and intense floral aromas. Since 2013, the vinification of the Pèppoli grapes has been carried out within the Marchesi Antinori estate's facilities.
The vineyard
Antinori-Pèppoli, a benchmark among the great Tuscan wines, oversees a 100-hectare vineyard, 50 hectares of which are dedicated to the production of Pèppoli Chianti Classico DOCG.
The vintage
A cold, dry winter preceded a cool, rainy start to spring, followed by alternating hot and rainy spells that favoured the development of the vineyard. The mild conditions from the end of August to the beginning of October enabled the grapes to reach optimal maturity.
Winemaking and ageing
The grapes were harvested plot-by-plot, then destemmed and lightly crushed before being vinified in stainless steel vats. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out at 26-28°C in order to develop aromatic expression while preserving the fruity and floral notes of each variety. Maceration lasted 10 to 15 days and was carried out with great care in order to advance the best extraction of soft and supple tannins. Blending was carried out after malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in large Slavonian oak barrels and a small percentage in vats.
