Pèppoli Chianti Classico Toscana DOCG - Marchesi Antinori - 2021

75 cl

Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Sangiovese

Vinification:

The grapes were vinified separately in order to achieve the best possible result: The Sangiovese grapes were macerated in stainless steel tanks for around 10 days. Merlot and Syrah were also vinified separately in order to obtain wines with soft tannins and preserve the fruity flavours by controlling the fermentation temperature. Malolactic fermentation took place before winter for all three varieties. At the beginning of the new year, the wine was blended and matured for 9 months in Slavonian oak barrels and 10% in oak barriques.

Tasting note:

The Pèppoli 2020 has a ruby red colour. The nose is characterised by intense notes of red fruits such as cherry, redcurrant and strawberry, accompanied by floral nuances of violet and lavender with light spicy hints of liquorice in the background. A soft attack on the palate with a vibrant impression and supported by well-structured tannins that lead to a fresh and flavoursome finish.

Pèppoli:

The Pèppoli estate is located 5 kilometres north-east of Tenuta Tignanello and has a total area of 100 hectares of land, 50 hectares of which are vineyards from which Pèppoli Chianti Classico DOCG is produced.
