Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Grapes: Sangiovese, Merlot, Syrah
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Pèppoli is Antinori's Chianti Classico estate near San Casciano, and its wine is deliberately the approachable face of the appellation: Sangiovese with a small share of Merlot and Syrah, matured mostly in large oak rather than new barriques. It keeps Chianti's bright acidity and sour-cherry core while softening the tannic edge, giving a supple, mid-weight red with a violet and dried-herb lift. Made for the table within a few years; a strong vintage carries it somewhat further.
