MARCHESI ANTINORI 'PEPPOLI' CHIANTI CLASSICO 2023

The prestigious Antinori family, with six centuries of winemaking heritage dating back to 1385, crafts their approachable Peppoli Chianti Classico from estate vineyards in the heart of Tuscany's iconic winegrowing region. This expressive blend combines primarily Sangiovese with complementary additions of Merlot and Syrah, grown in the distinctive galestro and alberese soils that define the Chianti Classico territory. The region's Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, creates ideal conditions for developing the wine's characteristic vibrant red fruit character and floral aromatics. Peppoli brilliantly balances tradition and innovation—a hallmark of the Antinori approach through twenty-six generations—offering the full expression of fresh fruit that has made it a beloved ambassador of Tuscan winemaking, perfect for pairing with pasta dishes, grilled meats, or aged cheeses.
